[ale] KDE screensaver woes.... fixed

[Jason Vinson]

check this link on redhat's bugzilla tracker:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=76760

<snip>

You can fix this by creating the following directories under 
$HOME/.kde/share/applnk-redhat:

System/ScreenSavers

Then copy/link all files from /usr/share/apps/kscreensaver/ScreenSavers

You may also have to do the same for the files above the ScreenSavers
directory.

</snip>

and it works!

hooray for the internet  ;)
