Per the ongoing discussion regarding "Now Playing" and "Now Playing
(Jump back on wake)" screensavers...
One of these screensavers keeps track context but loses menu context.
The other loses track context but keeps menu context.

The discussion revolved around these issues:
- which one of them should be the default
- what kind of names would make sense to the sane user

These issue have been settled now in bug
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8739

However the very fact that we resort to creative names for these two
entities suggests that the modeling is wrong.

How about a single Now Playing screensaver that combines the best of
both
worlds:
- a right arrow press goes into the track info 
- a left arrow press jumps back to the last menu position
- a top/down arrow press scrolls in the current list context

Benefits
- it behaves as a sane reasonable user would expect it to
- no need to get creative with two screensaver names
- no need for users to understand the difference between 2 similar Now
Playing screensavers
