Bug Description

Ubuntu should not ship gnome-screensaver by default as it's provision for configuring screen-savers is deficient and won't be fixed. See bug #22007 (and associated upstream bug).

gnome-screensaver should be depracated and replaced with xscreensaver

The problem with screensaver-settings is that it does not work in lucid.

xscreensaver still mostly does.
