When I run xscreensaver or simply boinscr, graphics application doesn't embed into that black window:



I use KDE on Gentoo, the problem is still there if I run a window manager.

And I don't know how to debug BOINC Screensaver to understand what the cause is.

Probably it's because not all graphics applications (including those provided by Rosetta@home and WCG) set WM_COMMAND or WM_CLASS. Boincscr looks for these window properties to embed graphics into its window but fails
