No, I haven't, but I suppose your are making a point about unnecessary labeling? As an alternative, I present to you this highly on-topic excerpt from Monty Python's "The Crunchy Frog Sketch": ====================================================== Setting: A police inspector talks to the owner of Whizzo Chocolate Company, discussing his different interesting sweets... [Inspector]: What's this one, 'spring surprise'? [Owner]: Ah - now, that's our speciality - covered with darkest creamy chocolate. When you pop it in your mouth, steel bolts spring out and plunge straight through both cheeks. ====================================================== (reference: http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/crunchy.htm ) But, no, I do not want "random screensaver" to come with a warning. If you read the bug report linked in the first post in this thread you see how I suggest that the long-term solution is to move WebCollage to a package xscreensaver-off; just like how there are a fortune-off package for potentially offensive fortunes. This is a "future-proof" solution in that Debian later can add new offensive screensavers of say, religious or political kind, without the current problem reappearing. This would be a suitable package for future screensavers that makes fun of political leaders or cite bible-verses, etc. A simpler but not as "long-term" solution would be to add a configuration option to WebCollage "Use random images from Internet", and let this option be unselected by default. For the unselected state, WebCollage could use just a few selected non-offensive images distributed along with the screensaver. //Rickard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
