The only problem with "random" is that some things aren't
really "screensavers".  ie, screensavers were originally created to prevent
burn-in on the screens, so you wouldn't have any fixed pixels.  This works
well with security needs to hide the screen when you're not around.  Some
of the screensavers, though, only do fun things with the desktop - meaning
that anyone who drops by can still read the mail you were reading when
called away.  I'd like to be able to easily remove individual screensavers
without removing whole screensaver packages.
