I hope it's not too late to comment on this. I'm on Jaunty. I wandered
back to my computer at work the other day to find it flashing scans of
cleared checks, the member roster from my union Local, and member tax
forms. Not cool.

These are scans, which are pictures, which is why I saved them in my
"Pictures" folder. Is there a way either to remove "Pictures Folder"
from gnome-screensaver, or limit it to tagged pictures, as the F-Spot
screensaver is limited to tagged "Favorites".

Aside from sensitive financial records, what if I want to have naked
pictures of Salma Hayek - or better yet Barrack Obama - in my Pictures
folder, but I don't want my co-workers seeing them? I can probably edit
hidden config files, but the average newbie who sets his/her screensaver
to randomize won't know that it's going to happen ahead of time, and
won't know how to "fix" it after the fact.

To Ted's point, this isn't really a bug, it's how it is supposed to
work. So can I make this a feature request instead of a bug report?
Either modify Pictures Folder so as to guarantee users' privacy, or
remove it from gnome-screensaver. Thank you.
