we changed the screensaver to gnome-screensaver for a while to see if
gnome-screensaver was already mature enough but we found that
gnome-screensaver still needs some love (it's very likely to be ready
for dapper but currently the lacking integration with acpi, no option to
set single screensaver options as well as some system hardlocking
problems with GL screensavers and the lack of dpms options made us
switch back) please remove the gnome-screensaver package manually for
now...

to take a screenshot from the menu, just use gimp and select a
reasonable delay for taking the shot, so your menu will be on it ;)
