Comment:
I third this. In fact, there are a number of screensavers that without
additional configuration either don't display anything or only the logo
with some slight effect, very boring/ugly . It's not possible for mere
users (ie. without admin rights) to change them, and changes are system-
wide, as the gnome-screensaver included in 2.14 can't read screensaver
themes from the user's home. Also considering that users currently can't
disable specific themes, I suggest moving the .desktop files for these
themes to a separate package and having only well-working (and non-
broken) themes available by default. There should still be enough
different themes left.

This applies to:

GLslideshow
Pictures galllery (requires a non-standerd folder to be more than blank screen)
Flipscreen 3D


and less to:
AntInspect (wants the current desktop, but looks quite -imho - atill quite interesting)
