chbg-2.0.1-5mdv2008.1.i586.rpm

Using ChBg as an xscreensaver client. Why would I want to?
Password protect your computer while chbg is running as a screensaver.

1) CHBG choose "Act as screensaver" and test it out.  When satisfied, change
   display mode to "Act as xscreensaver hack" and save scenario. (name the
   "scenariofilename" to anything you'd like)
2) in your $HOME directory check if the file .xscreensaver exists "ls -al".
   If not create it "touch .xscreensaver".
3) edit .xscreensaver file and add the following and save it:  
   programs: chbg -xscreensaver -scenario scenariofilename
4) type "xscreensaver-demo" and choose Preferences, click on "Require Password"
   so it's highlighted in black.
5) Test it out.  In Gnome, click on the Gnome Foot and choose "Lock Screen". 

It should display your pictures in screensaver mode and prompt your for a
password after any keyboard or mouse activity. For additional help see man
page for chbg and xscreensaver.
