Bug#816722: zoom-player: interraction with xscreensaver

[Alexandre Detiste]

Package: zoom-player
Version: 1.1.5~dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

xscreensaver tried to run 'zoom'; which resulted in this text in a
ugly yellow font on black backgroud:

"zoom: invalid option -- 'r'
Try `zoom --help' or `zoom --usage' for more information."

This can be reproduced with xscreensaver-demo; by running the last
screensaver from the list "Zoom".

This bug does _NOT_ happen when "xscreensaver-data-extra"
which provides /usr/lib/xscreensaver/zoom is also installed.

I guess renaming /usr/games/zoom to work around this is just wrong;
so this should be re-attributed to xscreensaver package (with a patch ?).

It seems fix would be that xscreensave doesn't include
/usr/games in it's path anymore.

Alexandre
