Selecting Braid screensaver when Desktop effects are activated runs my system unusable. I'm running Fiesty on a dual core amd64, but i guess these kind of details are now included automatically in the report, right?

So what happens is that the screen freezes and i can only move the mouse and hear gaim playing specific sounds. the keyboard is completely unresponsive, not even the caps lock or num lock buttons don't work. I can only press the reset button on my computer to get back. Obviously, going back to screen saver preferences puts me in the same situation. i must first deactivate desktop effects and only then change the screensaver.

I also tried, after a crash, to let it launch by itself the selected screen saver - Braid - but that too freezes the computer after it displays those coloured circles on full screen.
This is the only screen saver with this problem. I checked all the others one by one.
