Screensaver Warning
To anyone who is using Linux in a "sensitive" environment, and who use
the xscreensaver, I would strongly suggest that they disable the
programme webcollage to avoid embarrasment.
I have just returned to my office to find an extremely graphic
picture on my screen. Fortunately there was no-one else with me, or I
might have had some difficult explaining to do.
The webcollage screensaver programme was included in the list of
options by default when I installed xscreensaver. It wanders the web
at random hunting pictures which it then displays on the screen. In
this case it had obviously wandered into a hardcore porn site.
As I am one of the system administrators who have to !discourage! our
students from visiting such sites I have rapidly switched this one
off.
I suppose that this means that some folk will just switch off all the
other screensaver programmes and wait to see what turns up. Ho Hum.
