Just pure speculation on my part, but seeing where Ubuntu Touch is headed and how that has a lock screen, could a screensaver perhaps be based off of that?

Ubuntu 9.04 2. gnome-screensaver 2.24.0-0ubuntu6 On two separate recent 9.04 installations I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why, no matter what settings I chose, that gnome-power-manager was turning off my screen after 10 minutes. It never occurred to me that the issue was that the default screensaver in gnome-screensaver is the black screen. It gave me no indication that a screensaver was turning on because it didn't look like a screensaver. Changing the default screensaver to something other than black seems the obvious choice. Alternatively, and probably more appropriate - is to bring the gnome-screensaver and gnome-power-manager together under a single interface.
