(Get the code!)
sorry for the comment spam, I accidentally hit post while switching between gnomescreensaver and epiphany)
This applies to:
GLslideshow
Pictures galllery (requires a non-standerd folder to be more than blank screen)
Flipscreen 3D
Mirror Blob
Slidescreen
Distort
and less to:
AntInspect (wants the current desktop, but looks - imho - still quite interesting)
GLeidoscope (same)
GLtext (has a working, if somewhat boring default- maybe ubuntu-theme it a bit?)
Note: the separation above is, of course, subjective and based on my personal taste.
It might seem like removing screensvers based on individual people's tastes is a bad idea, but I doubt a lot of people are fond of test images, though, and it might take away a little from dapper's polished feel. :) Also, it seems to fit the new "screensaver theme" paradigm in gnome-screensaver, have such potential security risks like screengrabbing user-addable (once that's possible) instead of forcing crippled versions on everyone.
