Hi,

I finally got it working, it does support XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW, but that
wasn't the problem. 

gnome-screensaver doesn't look for screensavers in /usr/bin so I had to
make a link to /usr/lib/xscreensaver/

I'm reassigning this bug to the electricsheep package, as I think it
would be a good idea to add this link to the package. I'm also attaching
the desktop file (to be installed
in /usr/share/applications/screensavers ). This way electricsheep can be
used by default in GNOME.

I got the idea from this Ubuntu bug, it seems a lot of people have
trouble getting this screensaver to run.
