It is not a valid usecase for a screen *locker* to support that. The le=
gacy=20
implementation still supports just using a screen saver, though this wi=
ll go=20
away in 4.9 after current planning.

I ask you to stay on-topic in this thread on the security of the locker=
. If=20
you want to discuss about the screen saver animations please start a ne=
w=20
thread and preferable not on kcd but on workspace relevant mailing list=
s such=20
as kwin or plasma-devel.

Thanks
