This problem is a lot less severe for me since I upgraded to Hardy. The hacks don't lock up the system for nearly as long time at a time, so after 5-10 seconds or something like that it's possible to terminate them.
Braid is actually still present on my system after the upgrade. It doesn't matter that much to me since the same problem is in some other screensavers as well and it's less annoying than before the upgrade, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
