This emails comes as strange to me; when i installed the dev environment, i noticed a considerably higher amount of screen-savers than in the LTS, much of which are pretty awesome! Now i don't get me wrong, i'm in favor of dropping whatever is superfluous and broken. But i for one would be sad not to have any screen-saver at all, specifically a diaporama of my photo-library. :) -- Set Sakrecoer -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
