Change the default screensaver from black to ubuntu logo

[Odysseus Flappington]

This is very true, but someone needs to go around writing patches for at
least all applications that are installed by default that need to manually
autosuspend inhibit.

This has been done on Rythmbox already, but other apps which really need
patches are: Synaptic, Nautilus (during copy/move), Nautilus-burner, Brasero
(i think) and probably some other basic ones (i.e. maybe whatever Add/Remove
Applications uses). I've found autosuspend to be pretty useless for my needs
without at least these apps fixed, to the point where I've been looking into
alternatives like sleepd.

I wouldn't mind sitting down and trying to submit the patches to the
relevant projects myself, they're prolly at the right level for a beginner,
but I really don't have the time at this point, maybe next year some time.
