Previously I posted a script for use on Linux systems which stops xscreensaver from kicking in when a full-screen window has focus. While useful for some setups this script isn’t well suited to multiple monitor configurations where the likelihood of a full-screen window not having focus is greater. This post details a script which remedies this problem.

Simple Slideshow Screensaver Script for Ubuntu
Those of you on recent versions of Ubuntu may find the default screensaver slightly lacking.

However, the alternatives may be overkill if you just want a simple slideshow screensaver, so here’s bash script that does just that.
