Well, I am not shure if it is worth the effort. IMHO in the long run we
should drop to support the legacy screensavers instead.

Support of legacy screensavers gains not much but causes potentially a lot
of trouble and is a source of inconsistency.

Remember: KDE is about choice BUT a very important goal is consistency.

Anybody who's comfortable using KDE should use it. Anyone who wants to
tell other people what they should be using can go to work for Microsoft.
