Steve;
Whether or not to use screensavers depends on your installation.
I use a screensaver at client installations - but a simple one that
only kicks in after 5 minutes of inactivity and slowly displays a
slideshow of images from a directory. This way, it doesn't stress
resources and allows me to easily control the images displayed
(one of which advertises my company).
Many screensavers are network and CPU intensive and are best
with LTSP terminals.
Of course, if your true goal is to save the screens and you don't
care what's on the display, X provides a simple screensaver that
can blank the screen - use the "xset" command in any X window
to control it. It can also be controlled from X resources.

Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] screensavers
Hi guys,
I'm just barely setting up our LTSP environment here at work, and I had
a few questions for those much more advanced than me. :)
One question I had is -- what is your take on running xscreensaver on
the thin clients? Does it put too much of a load on the server? Does
it save network traffic? Is it worth bothering with?
Steve
