This doesn't answer you question exactly but I would like to point out 
that screen savers are useless with lcd / led screens. They were 
originally meant to protect CRT's from burn in when the electron beam 
stayed in the same place too long. I don't use them anymore. So unless 
you just like the pretty pictures, turn them off.
