What were you trying to do?
Use xscreensaver.
What's wrong:
Many of the installed screensavers fail to work.
What should have happened:
The installed screensavers should have worked.
ElectricSheep results in:
/usr/local/share/electricsheep-splash-0.tif: image not found
/usr/local/share/electricsheep-splash-1.tif: image not found
/usr/athena/share/control-center/screensavers/electricsheep.xml:1: error: Start tag expect, '<' not found

FontGlide and FontGlide (scroller) work, but only display:
sh: line 1: /usr/games/fortune: No such file or directory
jigsaw's preview fails to work, and results in:
jigsaw: window too small: 309x232 (need at least 264x264)
The screensaver itself, however, does work.
xearth works, but its preview results in:
