Bug Description
It seems the Kubuntu team reached consensus to add update-notifier notification support to the screensaver support in order to enable users to obtain some sensible screensavers (none are shipped by default).
This ought to cause an appearance similar to what Amarok triggers (though in Amarok's case it recommends installation of media codecs ;))
Original description:
It seems as if KDE 4 hasn't got preinstalled screen savers. This could lead to confusion for some people as they get a black screen (ok, there's a mouse pointer, but that can bee overseen) after resuming from suspend/hibernate and could think that something has gone wrong.
Maybe it's a good idea to make kscreensaver a dependence or recommendation for kubuntu-desktop and choose one of them as standard screen saver to avoid the black screen.

Not even in Jaunty :( Screensavers are somewhat important to normal users. At least it is considered really basic stuff that should be there. (K)ubuntu IS a desktop linux and should serve as such.
Why don't Kubuntu team select the cream of the crop from the screensavers and include them. Or just if in a hurry, include the whole screensavers package by default.
