Comment 6 for bug 2015979

ok. it doesn't matter if it isn't fixed for the current release . if it's
such problematic, i'd be also fine if it's fixed in the next release.

i never told that the screensaver should be disabled by default. it should
only be switched to something cpu/energy friendly and if there is no
 better alternative for flurry, you could simply set it to "mode: blank" in
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XScreensaver and leave it up to the end-user
 to change it to his favourite one.

here is the change that introduced flurry as the default screensaver:

does anybody have an estimate/guess how many lubuntu installations
are out there in this world?
