Now it needs polishing to bring it up to the Ubuntu standard of excellence for Dapper. Late in the Breezy cycle, gnome-screensaver was considered as a replacement for xscreensaver, but rejected because it had too many missing features. The gnome-screensaver package is an alternative to the xscreensaver daemon, which provides better integration with other desktop components, so could provide a better user experience.
