Display type:		afb

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		sawfish

What were you trying to do?
     configure xscreensaver via gnome control center

What's wrong:
       my previous settings were lost

What should have happened:
     My work shouldn't have been lost?

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

I had previously edited my .xscreensaver to have, as its only
screensaver, xmatrix.  This was lost to me.  (I had edited the programs
section so xmatrix was the only entry.)  I also had a commented out line
in the programs section (which I occasionally uncommented) something I
had done to float a message around the screen.  That too is gone.

Overall, the programs: section I had in .xscreensaver was completely lost.
