That's nice in theory, except I've watched it with my own eyes - a
reasonably fast, but non-3D-accelerated machine get extremely slow with
a 3D screensaver running.

Besides that, even if it didn't slow the system down, they still *look*
like crap unaccelerated, and thus, should go in their own package,
IMHO.
