I did some work and found something useful:

KDE does this to start the biof (for example) screensaver when you click the
"Test" button:

kxsrun biof -- --root

(this comes from the biof.desktop file).

strace'ing this gives (among a big pile of stuff):

8989  access("/usr/libexec/xscreensaver/biof", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)

But it was installed in /usr/bin/biof.  Symlinking it to where kxsrun wants to
see it results in a working screensaver.

So I guess it's reasonable to ask why these are in /usr/bin instead of
/usr/libexec/xscreensaver.  They aren't really useful when called directly, are
they?

I also noticed that xscreensaver-demo doesn't show any of the new hacks, even
after I make the symlink.  (I have the rss-glx-xscreensaver package installed.)
