Hi Todd,

FWIW, from my perspective this is perfectly the correct state of
things. When we are trying to fit size-wise into a CD it's IMHO pretty
contraproductive trying to fit in things that are completelly
useless eyecandy with oxymoronic name (they don't save screen at
all, quite the contrary!). Best screen saver is black locked screen.
Just my 2 cents.

Regards,
Martin
