Ok, I was aware of a previous concern (Sorry I didn't find the bug
number) which ended with the creation of /etc/default/gdm but didn't
read this one.
Now that we have this file instead as an alternative to
/etc/environment, I didn't thougt that there were still concerns about
how to fill this file...

Here is the text of the window (translated) :

An error occured when starting screensaver :
Failed to execute child process "xscreensaver" (No such file or
directory)
Screensaver functionnality won't work during this session.

I also joined a "windowshot".

This is not a critical error, merely a warning that screensaver won't
work, but I think it's annoying, especially for a newcomer getting
errors with a fresh install.
