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.
