It was mistakenly closed before. rss-glx was demoted from recommends to
suggests for gnome-screensaver, but ubuntu-desktop explicitly depends on
it as well. So we need to drop it there as well.

savers down we should not install it by default.

I don't see gnome-screensaver being discussed here, or having a
patch/branch. Since this task is unassigned, "in progress" does not make
much sense. Is there something to be done for gnome-screensaver here? I

Andrew, thanks for the patch! That is a very constructive contribution.
However, I would not keep separate files for Ubuntu and Debian. Already
having just one file that defines which hacks go in and having the

I'm reluctant to make suggestions about specific screensavers as it is

we should cut the number down. I'd rather not get caught up in debating

David, some 3D screensavers work fine on some graphics cards or drivers
and not on others. The easiest would be to not pull in the package by
default. As I already said, deactivating selected hacks or splitting
packages will be painful, and is out of the scope of "paper cuts".

Andrew, do you have a list of the screensavers to remove/keep? If you have
technical motivations for removing certain savers, please list them so we can
cut those first. Then we can evaluate the remaining savers on other terms.

Added a gnome-screensaver task. Demoting its depends on rss-glx could be
a good first step towards resolving this. Firstly, it would cut 19
savers. Secondly, as Tormod notes above, the savers in this package
account for most of the GPU-lockup/crashes and many have high CPU
usage...

The only papercut-size fix I can see would be to remove the "Recommends"
on xscreensaver-{data,gl} and rss-glx from gnome-screensaver and thus
only install the native gnome-screensaver modes on new installations.
This will leave the "cosmos" and "personal image folder" slideshows,

I think it would be a great idea to get rid of many of the screensavers.
10 seems like a good number but an issue is which screensavers do we
choose? I think we should put a poll on Ubuntu.com asking users to
choose 10 of the screensavers. The top 10 will end up in the next
release.

Screensavers are a complete waste of space and just a legacy of the CRT
era. Just one additional variable that can cause problems PC. I'd be
happy if there was just 5 simple screensavers. As DavidCOG pointed out,
its also a wastage of CPU and thus not very 'green'. Every little bit
counts!

If / when the screensavers are evaluated, suggest running 'top' to view
CPU usage - some of them max out the CPU, which is a bad thing for a
computer that's sitting idle. More CPU = more power = more CO2.

In the first release of Ubuntu, we stripped out many, many screensavers,
to good effect. I'm +1 on a comprehensive review with the goal to cut
them down to the 20 most surprisingly wonderful ones. I'd back a *small*
