I simply began to believe the new standing doctrine is: *no more 
screensavers!* The Wikipedia entry on them implies they are a 
worse-than-useless leftover from the old CRT days and that you're better 
off, all things considered, letting your screen blank out.

The upgrade to F22 totally destroyed my desktop slideshow and 
screensaver settings. They left me with a bare-bones environment: /no/ 
wallpaper other than the default F22 wallpaper, and /no/ 
screensaver--just blank the screen after however many minutes of 
inactivity. I've tried half a dozen times to change desktop or 
floating-view settings. Each time, KDE's Plasma environment crashes and 
has to restart. Finally I gave it up. I wouldn't know what component to 
file a bug against. Suggestions?
