How to import sequences from SRS into GCK2.5

Obviously you can import sequences into GCK2.5 directly from Genbank. But usually you are working with a web tool like SRS and end up having your sequences displayed in your browser. From SRS version 7 the import goes as follows: From your fancy display, click SAVE. From the pull-down menu "Use view" select * Complete Entries *. Then "Output to" FILE (TEXT). Check under "Save as type" SAVE TABEL AS ASCii TABLE/TEXT WITH. Click SAVE and save it somewhere with the file extension .ebl. Then from within GCK2.5 select IMPORT and select the file. Ready.

The invisible screensaver (kslideshow, import, screenshot)

I was trying to configure my screensaver such, that it would display as only picture the desktop at the moment when the screensaver became active. In the KDE control center I chose the Slideshow screensaver (under Banners and Pictures) and in the setup I chose a specific directory as the media diretory (/home/your_user_name/Documents/images/desktop/). I also selected display one random image only. The media directory should be empty. Then I renamed /opt/kde3/bin/kslideshow.kss executable to kslideshow_ori.kss and created a shell script in the same directory that I named kslideshow.kss.
