FEATURE REQUEST: Unbroken screensaver.

[Sami Dalouche]

Hi,

ok I guess this is kinda becoming off topic, but just one tip..
You can use Brightside to prevent your screensaver to run when you put your
mouse on one of your corners... ;)

Good luck,
Sami Dalouche

PS: I personally like the unlocking window of gnome-screensaver
