Before giving the instructions for giving access to the fingerprint reader
and the bir-file to get the screensaver to accept the fingerprint, the page
says "In Fedora 7 the package has been modified in such a way as to make
doing this unnecessary."  But that's not working for me (Fedora 7 x86_64 on
an X60, with thinkfinger-0.3-5.fc7 and gnome-screensaver 2.18.2-2.fc7, which
seem to be the latest versions available).   I do get the "Password or
swipe finger" prompt when logging in, doing su, etc.

Is the note on the thinkwiki page wrong, or is there something else I need
to do to take advantage of the Fedora modifications?
