Never mind -- there are people who want blanking only and there are
people who want eye candy (for whatever reason). I was thinking about
how to tackle this one from the technical side since the last time this
was discussed on the list, so basically it now boils down to:

- how to implement this best (the drop in config that is, the other
stuff is fairly straight forward)
- how to blackmail^Wbribe^Wconvince jwz to accept this upstream ;-)
- how granular we want to do this (I'd vote for xscreensaver,
-hacks-cheap and -hacks-expensive so everyone knows what they're dealing
with ;-)
