Bug Description
(dapper, as of February 19)
Reasons:
1. OpenGL and other resource-devouring screensavers make certain machines suffer. (For example SiS does not support OpenGL while many computers use their onboard graphics).
2. Some may confuse inexperienced users (i.e. BSOD).
3. Some screensavers are ugly, we don't want to include them in a random pool, there is no way to uninstall them nicely.
