Comment 127 for bug 22007

With the bug listed as "Won't Fix" this bug report does not show up in the list of open bugs under gnome-screensaver any more. You have to click "Advanced search" and choose to display "Won't Fix" bugs to see it.

Only 10 bugs that haven't had a fix released have more users affected (including "invalid" bugs)

Only 1 bug has more comments, only 5 have more duplicates, and only 10 have more heat. This is out of 636 bugs that aren't marked "Fix Released."

It seems this is a real concern among many Ubuntu/Gnome users, and something should be done about it.

Since Marc changed this bug to "Won't fix" the only comment we've seen from him actually included, "Seriously, what's to configure?" Those of us using xscreensaver get to see the wonderful configuration options for not only the slide show screen savers, but all the rest as well. If you install a more robust collection of screensavers, there will be much more to configure. Why not just completely remove all of them and use nothing but blank screen? With blank screen, there is certainly nothing to configure, so that would solve this bug I guess. If anyone wanted to use a computer with this strange 1980's-era technology of "Screen Savers" they could just install a real app like xscreensaver.
