Could we somehow stop this useless and pointless discussion?  I guess
it's clear that it's a bug that the random screen saver in KDE has
WebCollage included (at least several people have agreed to this),
and get it fixed in the version of KDE in sid and in upstream and be
done with it?  That would ber a relief, really.
