Maybe even remove all but the blank saver and replace them
by URLs pointing to xscreensaver ftp mirrors, would reduce
doubled code greatly; and while we're at it, let's remove
the wallpapers as well, unicolor/gradient fill should be
enough for everyone (just couldn't resist the sarcasm ;).
In this sense every port of a non-KDE application to KDE
is actually doubling code which, according to your opinion,
makes no sense. Did I get you right?
