Just read UPDATING, and wanted to ask about something, please.

One of the steps includes: "portupgrade -o x11/gnome-screensaver -f xscreensaver-gnome", which
replaces xscreensaver-gnome with gnome-screensaver, yes?

Are they now both the same in terms of stability and feature-set?

At present, there are differences between the two whereby xscreensaver-gnome provides "Blank
After, Cycle After and Lock Screen After" settings which are not available in gnome-screensaver.
There is also the fact that there are the "Display Modes" tab as well as "Advanced" tab in
xscreensaver-gnome, that are not available in gnome-screensaver as well.

Thanks.

Regards,

Stacey
