step one: hook update-notifier into the KCM, not too intrusive but gives better usability
possible step two: select one or two fine default screenies to be shipped by default (that is if there is any good candidate and if we can/want to spare the CD space) ... this ought to be done via brainstorm.ubuntu.com though.

Moving bug to kdebase-workspace for addition of update-notifier support.

** Package changed: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) => kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Changed in: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu)
     Assignee: Harald Sitter (apachelogger) => (unassigned)

** Summary changed:

- KDE 4 doesn't have preinstalled screensavers
+ screensaver KCM should recommend installation of screensavers

** Description changed:

- It seems as if KDE 4 hasn't got preinstalled screen savers. This could
- lead to confusion for some people as they get a black screen (ok,
- there's a mouse pointer, but that can bee overseen) after resuming from
- suspend/hibernate and could think that something has gone wrong.
+ It seems the Kubuntu team reached consensus to add update-notifier notification support to the screensaver support in order to enable users to obtain some sensible screensavers (none are shipped by default).
+ This ought to cause an appearance similar to what Amarok triggers (though in Amarok's case it recommends installation of media codecs ;))

  Maybe it's a good idea to make kscreensaver a dependence or
  recommendation for kubuntu-desktop and choose one of them as standard
  screen saver to avoid the black screen.
