Title:
Screensavers wrongly classed as "technical items"
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Users without advanced technical skills may typically want to install
some sort of screensaver--for example, a photo slideshow. If they
search for "screensaver" in USC, they will not find any apps for
screensavers, unless they click on "Show 39 technical items." Perhaps
some of these items really are "technical." Others, however, seem like
they are not.
What I expect to happen: Search for "screensaver" in USC and find
screensavers.
What happens: No such apps display unless you click on "Show 39 technical
items."
"Themes and tweaks" would seem a sensible place to find screensavers.
If installing, for example, xscreensaver involves first uninstalling
gnome-screensaver, better to include instructions on how to do this
(or include an automatic option to do it) than to make a commonly
desired item difficult to find by classifying it as a "technical
item."
