With the bug listed as "Won't Fix" this bug report does not show up in
the list of open bugs under gnome-screensaver any more. You have to
click "Advanced search" and choose to display "Won't Fix" bugs to see
it.

Only 10 bugs that haven't had a fix released have more users affected
(including "invalid" bugs)

Only 1 bug has more comments, only 5 have more duplicates, and only 10
have more heat. This is out of 636 bugs that aren't marked "Fix
Released."

It seems this is a real concern among many Ubuntu/Gnome users, and
something should be done about it.

Since Marc changed this bug to "Won't fix" the only comment we've seen
from him actually included, "Seriously, what's to configure?" Those of
us using xscreensaver get to see the wonderful configuration options for
not only the slide show screen savers, but all the rest as well. If you
install a more robust collection of screensavers, there will be much
more to configure. Why not just completely remove all of them and use
nothing but blank screen? With blank screen, there is certainly nothing
to configure, so that would solve this bug I guess. If anyone wanted to
use a computer with this strange 1980's-era technology of "Screen
Savers" they could just install a real app like xscreensaver.
