Well, from a perfectly practical point of view I guess you're right. But for
a desktop distro, screensavers are a important feature. It's nice to watch.
It's nice to show beautiful 3D fireworks to your clueless Windows-impaired
friends :-) For *me*, it's something worth leaving the monitor turned on,
and it's one of the things that Ubuntu (and most desktop-oriented Linux
distros in general) have over Windows.
