I have found another showstopper bug with it - when I sit down at my PC
in the morning it takes FOREVER for the screensaver to give me back my
desktop.  The monitor comes on immediately, but it takes like 5 minutes
of banging on the keyboard and moving the mouse to get my desktop back -
in the meantime all I see is the last frame of the screensaver, a blob
of multicolored light.

It's so slow that I could get back to work twice as fast by just hitting
the reset button.

Yes I know ubuntu-devel is not for bug reports but it seems like there's
no point in reporting bugs against this package, they'll just get kicked
back NOTABUG.

This package has MULTIPLE SHOWSTOPPER BUGS - why do we insist on
shipping with it?
