With the fc3t1 clean installation that I performed recently, the 
screensaver was set to blank the screen.

Regarding the resource hungry screensavers, they impress those that are 
not familiar with Linux. Running another "windows has it too" 
application just gets an "oh" type of response.

I think that hardware ought to be able to take the extra stressing 
without falling out. The don't run certain apps because they'll kill 
your server do not seem to be methods that should have to be resorted to.

Changing 500 users screensavers does not sound like a task that I'd 
enjoy. :-)
