Regular desktop-using people like screensavers. Trimming them down good,
making it blank/powersave after a while by default good, deleting them
all kind of lame.

A simple default saver could cycle through the desktop backgrounds, and
let people specify a directory of images to cycle through instead.

Then have a couple of simple pretty savers in the spirit of the gdm
theme and default background, perhaps.
