XScreensaver

Hello,
I think something needs to be done with the Xscreensaver-gnome port. I 
think it inlcudes way too many low-quality screensavers. I think by 
default it should install no more than 10 screensavers. The rest could 
be provided in an extra port.  If you want I can send you a list of the 
screensavers which I think should be kept in the distribution.

Also if you simply install the port the screensaver doesn't work at all, 
because you need a dbus enabled gnome session. Why isn't the default 
gnome session dbus enabled ?
Together with that I also discovered, that gnome can make use of FAM, 
which also isn't enabled by default...
