FWIW, while I'm a KDE guy, I don't normally run screensavers. Rather, I |
| 15 |
have the system put my monitors to sleep. Or sometimes I run amarok or |
| 16 |
kaffeine with visualizations (on one or both screens, they're 21 and 22 |
| 17 |
inch, so close enough, and both 1600x1200) and don't have them go to |
| 18 |
sleep. The amarok corona visualization can be quite restful. |

To each his own, of course, but I just never found most screensavers |
| 21 |
useful or interesting after the novelty wore off, in part due to issues |
| 22 |
such as the one you mention. |
