(Get the code!)
Back when I first started running Ubuntu the screensavers _WERE_ configurable.
So was the login window.
I could choose what application ran when I inserted a DVD, eg have it run dvd:rip rather than the small number of programs that Ubuntu has deemed an acceptable 'player' for DVDs.
I could configure dial-up networking, and it worked on all the ISP's I ever needed to use it with.
It's not just this bug, but this bug is one glaring example of the whole problem.
This obsession with "removing" all of the configurability is driving people away from Ubuntu. You're perpetuating the myth (by making it not a myth at all) that either Linux is greatly inferior to Windows because it has so fewer options, or that nothing useful can be done in Linux without resorting to a terminal.
Please. Fix this BUG.
