Many people actually love to see all the screensavers (running in Random), others have their favourites which they don't want to see go away. On Ubuntu 9.04 there are 3 packages shipping screensaver hacks (in addition to the ca 4 .desktop ones coming with "gnome-screensaver):
14 xscreensaver-data installed size 1.1 MB (of which hack binaries: 0.6)
43 xscreensaver-gl installed size 4.7 MB (hack binaries: 4.0)
19 rss-glx installed size 3.9 MB (hack binaries 3.4)
Of course, on the Desktop CD the root fs is compressed, so the CD size savings would be smaller. On the Alternate CD, the debs consumes 0.4, 1.9 and 3.0 MB respectively.
