ScreenSaver list does not live update (easy)

[pulkomandy]

• Open screensaver preferences
• Open terminal
• pkgman install neonlights

Expected result: "Neon Lights" appears in screensaver list and can be selected immediately.

ScreenSaver prefs should node monitor screensaver directories for new entries. It should probably also check for removed entries, as well.
