xmatrix: of course it's the stupid copyright
extrusion: gle is in contrib (and things on main
           distro shouldn't depend on contrib stuff),
           and gle is not used by anything else for now.
           Perhaps adding a toggle on xscreensaver
           RPM is a good thing. But xscreensaver may
           have some bigger change (choose either the
           official xscreensaver or gnome-branched one),
           so it's for fcrozat to consider it...
