Isn't there a way we can display a small .jpg that moves around the screen every 5 seconds? It is what Windows XP does, and I think one of the point to this argument, which I agree with, is that it is free advertising. e.g. When a news broadcast or TV show has computers on in the background, quite often the screensavers are set to the original where a small logo of Windows XP on a black background moves around every 3 seconds. This is free advertising and it reinforces the name Windows in the public's mind. I would say enable a very very simple Ubuntu screensaver on desktops and a blank screen on laptops. -- Brett Alton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do you really need to print this email?
