Hey Chris, I'm forwarding this to the list for everyone to see.
But include it for those who want a CPU hogging screen beauty =P
LOL, that's funny. I guess that's what I was thinking. But maybe most
people wouldn't miss it anyway. If it does stay I would say disable it by
default for sure.

Screensavers are for CRT monitors, to prevent in burning of pixels. To a
lesser degree also LCD screens.
Other then that I can't think of use-cases. But include it for those who
want a CPU hogging screen beauty =P

Wow, I'm really surprised that the screen saver can hit a CPU that hard.
I still think should be included as an option for those who want it, but
maybe people really don't use them anymore anyway. I know I haven't run one
for years.

Hai everyone,
Agreed the screensaver shouldn't be energy consuming, it should be the
opposite.
I like Mod4 + L for locking btw.
Cheers, Chris Druif

The first time that i installed Lubuntu I've surprised when see that
the
default screensaver consume 60-70% of my processor. So i deactivated
it. For
me turn off the monitor in x minutes is enough. Lubuntu is not only for
slow
machine, it's a energy saving OS too. In the lubuntu.net home page say
it:
lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and *energy saving* variant of
Ubuntu
using LXDE.
So, in my opinion xscreensaver should be removed and
gnome-power-preferences
should be in the start menu (or whatever you call :))
Agreed. IMHO, running CPU intensive programs when the user is way makes
no sense. An
option to blank and/or lock the screen (automatically or by user request,
like
CTRL-ALT-L in Ubuntu) is useful (again, IMHO).
