Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kscreensaver

Ubuntu 8.04, kscreensaver 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy

The kscreensavers package installs screensavers that hide the desktop,
or just transform portions of it (e.g. "Science").  This is insecure, as
in many facilities a screensaver is specifically intended to ensure
sensitive data is not left displayed on a person's workstation.  It
would be nice to split out those screensavers that actually hide the
screen from those that play with it.

** Affects: kdeartwork (Ubuntu)
