Here's a better idea -- why don't you switch to a distro that doesn't
force software on you that is thirteen months old and six releases
behind?

It is unconscionable that your distro is making their users deal with
bugs that were fixed *years* before. That's a despicable way to treat
the users (you) and the developers (me).

Title:
  Setting splash to False has no effect on outdated-messages

Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 dev with xscreensaver 5.26-1ubuntu3 and currently I'm seeing the message "WARNING: This version is very old!
  Please upgrade!" on every login on my desktop even if the option splash is set to False. Because this message is affected by the option splashDuration I'm assuming it should also be affected by the option splash.
