Package: xscreensaver Version: 4.21-3 Followup-For: Bug #313492 Let me just say that when I looked up from my work to see an erect penis staring me in the face yesterday, I was shocked. Not because I am offended by silly things like this; I'm very tolerant and laid back actually. I am disturbed because there are women in my office; and there are no walls. Anyone could have seen this before I noticed and disabled it. I could have potentially been reprimanded or fired for sexual harassment or indecency.
I don't want to try to restrict anyone's freedom of expression, but there needs to be some kind separation between potentially offensive and benign material. Perhaps there needs to be a "non-workplace" or "this-could-get-you-fired" archive for anything that should not be found in a work environment. I'm no microsoft supporter, but at least I know that should I choose to use windows in the workplace that I am not making myself vulnerable to inadvertent repercussions due to my use of that software. Issues like this can help sell their FUD if we aren't mindful. Trust me, I disabled GLSnake instantly. Thank you for the freedom to do that. Features like this should be categorized so that all users know what they need to disable before its too late. Either that, or call the inappropriate snakes dagger and flower petal or something that isn't quite so obvious. GLSnake in its present form should not be enabled in the screensaver rotation by default. Also, it should have a warning for those users who want to enable it. You mentioned quality. Well, I believe that this issue is a subset of quality; professionalism. The professional operating systems wouldn't even think of allowing something like this past their quality standards -- neither should Debian. Debian should be the pentultimate professional operating system. In many aspects, it is already, but if issues like this go unaddressed, we'll never get there. I don't think that this bug should be wishlist. It is indeed important. This problem hasn't been resolved, so it shouldn't be marked as such. Thank you for your consideration.
