Here is my point of view on this. Eventually it would make sense to
either have some savers on the CD by default or at least hook a
notification into the configuration module, so that users can obtain
them more easily.
But. I am, politically, against using a screensaver by default. No
matter how simple the saver might be, it will still consume more power
than the black-screen-without-any-animation. Now that might not sound
like a whole lot power saving. But consider: if every PC on this planet
would come without screensaver pre-selected (no matter which OS) and say
every machine is in screensaver mode one hour per year...
Eitherway our options are: either use an uberfancy opengl saver (which
means we need kscreensaver to at least provide a fallback and slug-
detection like kwin) or we don't use one by default but ease the pain to
get some good ones installed (which mostly means hooking a notification
into the module, so we don't waste CD space on savers). This absolutely
needs to be discussed at a Kubuntu Meeting or the Kubuntu development
mailing list which means that someone should ensure it somehow ends up
in either of them ;)
