webcollage screensaver does not respect screensaver preferences

[Mike Harding]

Well, I guess webcollage always gets random images - jwz can't and
won't do anything to clean it up.  I don't have a problem with that,
but was just noting I can't disable it without deleting it.

Also, it should maybe be disabled by default as it's defnitely not
work safe... but I can't disable it at all!

I was reminded by cow-orkers that 'special pictures' were on my
monitor during my vacation, which prompted my email.

   As far as I know, it just does.  We don't do anything special in
   xscreensaver-gnome to make it more offensive (in fact, we disable
   offensive fortunes by default).

   You should be able to go into the xscreensaver capplet, and disable
   webcollage and webcollage-whacked.  If not, I would bug Jamie
   (http://www.jwz.com).
