Bug Description
There are many screen savers installed by default which are actually CPU killers/power eaters.
I am sure majority of Ubuntu users do not have idea that the screen saver of their choice takes 100% of CPU, which leads to shorten life of laptops running on batteries, makes CPUs hot and in general eats power.
I suggest getting rid of all that stupid screen savers. One step further would be to implement extra warning message when given screen saver consumes too much resources.
