I have also committed the TUI (text user interface) upgrade

Here's the patch that got us the Ubuntu logo in xscreensaver. It turns out this was reverted because gnome-screensaver would better integrate with the desktop.

I just want to go on record as saying that I still want our shortcuts to primarily be defined in globalkeys. We should avoid as much as possible definitions elsewhere. Something is funky with runner, either in that it is conflict with globalkeys or that runner needs to be started before globalkeys. An upstream issue will be forthcoming (please post it here for posterity @The_LoudSpeaker) to try to get to the bottom of these issues. Once that's figured out, I'd like to get the definition back in here. Hopefully we can even get rid of the runner configuration that we have (that this depends on to work, AFAIK). Until then, we need to have something that works and this will get us there and much better than some weird dpkg-divert of the Desktop Entry or a restart script, etc. Great job in working hard on figuring this out!
