Uh, come on Stefan, what's KDE specific on the screen savers
that are already in the repository? I've seen most of them
when I was running fvwm quite some time ago (and some are still
as ugly as they were then)...
Regarding jwz, I must admit I don't know about the reasoning
but I think I'm capable of reading:

I did modify it and I left the copyright notice in it so
I don't see the point of this hassle (if any).
