I have that set to 2 seconds on all of my systems, including my PI
and PII clunkers.
Yes, 60 seconds seems absurd.

All,
Usually I just turn the icons off, but I was testing things. First strange
behavior was when I turned off Printers, Web Browser, and My Network Places, a
new 'System' icon magically appeared on my desktop. So I opened it, and it
opened in dolphin - you're kidding right? Then I tred My Computer and Home on
the Desktop and both opened in dolphin....
Why does 'Home' on the desktop open in that crippled dolphin while home from
kicker open correctly in konqueror file manager? That just seems odd. I don't
know where these hooks are made, but I would like to be able to set any desktop
icons to open in konqueror instead of dolphin (dl3phin).

I was searching themes for my TDE install and found Crystal:
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Crystal?content=13969
It's source so I tried to set it up but the configure script doesn't
generate a Makefile. I get this error at the end:
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!
I'm not sure what is being referred to by "KDE prefixes" nor how to fix it.
I've been using TDE for a while and I'd like to contribute but I'm new to
software engineering and I have no idea where to start when dealing with a
project as big as TDE. But I would like to contribute by fixing this
problem but I'm not sure how to go about it. Any help which can lead me in
the right direction will be appreciated.

(scratches head) This in response to what?

I'll take a guess this is a VM problem.
I test in VMs, but there are limits with hardware.

This message is from libGL and not Trinity. I see messages like
this whenever libGL is called indirectly from Trinity.
For example, on my system, running 'tdecmshell opengl' results in
libGL spew.
Try running the screen saver module directly in a terminal:
tdecmshell screensaver
Then you'll see the errors and warnings directly and won't have to
wade through the xsession-error log.
Despite the complaints by libGL, the screensaver module should not
crash. Can you capture a kcrash backtrace?

Looks fine to me. I have no objections.
I will push unless somebody complains.
Darrell
Tim, All,
I created a fantastic kicker wallpaper that I would like to have added to the
tdebase install. (343 bytes total) It goes with the default theme and makes
kicker look pretty slick. I'm not saying make it the default kicker background,
but just provide it in the directory. I would probably rename it 'blueglass.png'
instead of the attached filename. Take a look.

Darrell,
I have experimented with tdebase building with -DBUILD_TSAK=OFF and building
with it on and simply disabling it in tdmrc. I think the latter works just as
well and gives the user to option to enable it if desired. All I do is post
make-install:
# disable SAK in tdmrc by default (user can enable if desired)
sed -i 's/#UseSAK=false/UseSAK=false/' \
${pkgdir}${TDEDIR}/share/config/tdm/tdmrc
May help, may not, thought I would pass it along...
