Yes, the nag text was removed, but at least xscreensaver gets updates, which was the whole point.

> patches/packages/xscreensaver-5.34-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. I promised jwz that I'd keep this updated in -stable when I removed (against his wishes) the nag screen that complains if a year has passed since that version was released. So, here's the latest one.

it is a lock screen that prompts for password on wake
