Bug#357297: Please revert this awful feature or fix it.

Now all of a sudden I have a screensaver being forced on me just by installing the xscreensaver pacakge (which is a nice screensaver to have, just not for all users with no way to disable it). At the very least it should be possible to set an environment in the .xsession or similar to prevent xscreensaver from starting. Starting it without exception is not acceptable. Besides there are other screensavers out there that some users may choose to run instead (like the gnome and kde screensavers). Yah, but we want to take over da world g I would prefer this bad change be reverted ASAP though. Please just remove the file, I will work on this ASAP.

It really does seem like letting the desktop manager or .xsession or something else decide which screensaver to run is nicer. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
