ElectricSheep 2.6.9
===================

Electricsheep can no longer be configured from within the KDE4 screensaver
preferences dialog.  Instead, a separate "electricsheep-preferences"
should be used now.  The KDE4 screensaver file has been updated to reflect
this change.

The configuration application, "electricsheep-preferences", will now
display when you push the "setup" button in the screensaver settings in
KDE4 System Settings.  The sheep also play in the small preview window
within the System Settings dialog window.

The "test" button does not work correctly.  If you press it, the sheep
will play, but the window in which the animation runs will not stretch
to fullscreen.

The sheep will play in full screen as expected when the real screensaver
activates after the configured period of idle time.  Shake the mouse and
it stops.

Electricsheep requires MPlayer to display your sheep!  In some cases,
the mplayer window may not close after stopping the screensaver.  This will
prevent electricsheep to play new sheep when the screensaver activates again.
The solution (it is not a real solution I know) is to kill mplayer with
ksysguard or the commandline "kill".
