KDE3 has a large supply of screensaver modules which I wanted to explore, so I copied the contents of /usr/lib/xscreensaver and appended the contents to mine; but they don't appear in TDE's list of screensavers. How can I refresh the list?

so you try to copy something into this directory and expect it to show up somewhere?
I do not think it works simply like this. There are files that accompany each screensaver module.
And here on Debian 12 amd64 it is in libexec. I see you are on openSUSE $ dpkg -S /usr/libexec/xscreensaver xscreensaver-data, xscreensaver-gl: /usr/libexec/xscreensaver
$ ls -al /usr/lib/xscreensaver ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/xscreensaver': No such file or directory
The debian own package tdescreensaver-xsavers-trinity seems to hold the config files for the desktop
look at man kxsrun man kxsconfig

That's where they are in (openSUSE's) KDE3; it seems odd to me that TDE would put them somewhere else.

Heh. I looked again in /usr/lib/xscreensaver and noticed that most of the files were -rw-r--r--. I chmod +x the whole set and now they appear in Control Center's Screensaver module and the desktop context menu Configure Desktop option; so Surprise! no additional files are needed.
