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, which are pretty (cosmos at least) and resource-friendly.
Any solution involving selections of the existing screensavers (and leaving the possibility for those interested to enable others) would be non-trivial. Of course that should not stop anyone from coming up with a technical solution and a patch. -- Ship fewer screensavers by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385850 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
