If you sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver but then sudo apt-get install rss-glx (see this Ubuntu Forums post and this one), the Really Slick Screensaver (GLX) effects will run on top of a screen that has not been blanked under Unity in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, not just in xscreensaver-demo but also when the real screensaver kicks in.
XScreenSaver is a modular screen saver and locker for X11,containing more than 200 screen savers.This package includes the bare minimum needed to blank and lock yourscreen. Install this package if you want to use the xscreensaver engineto control screen blanking and launching display modes ("hacks"). Ifyou only want to use other screensaver engines, you don't need toinstall this package.The graphical display modes are in the xscreensaver-data,xscreensaver-data-extra, xscreensaver-gl and xscreensaver-gl-extrapackages.

This Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability in xscreensaver versions since 5.06 on unpatched Solaris 11 systems which allows users to gain root privileges. xscreensaver allows users to create a user-owned file at any location on the filesystem using the -log command line argument introduced in version 5.06. This module uses xscreensaver to create a log file in /usr/lib/secure/, overwrites the log file with a shared object, and executes the shared object using the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. This module has been tested successfully on xscreensaver version 5.15 on Solaris 11.1 (x86) and xscreensaver version 5.15 on Solaris 11.3 (x86).
'absent'/'purged': the Package['xscreensaver']is removed or purged.Also no further configuration are performed(the configuration files become unmanaged).Packages listed in packages_havedo not get installed (they aren't removed either).
default: $xscreensaver::params::xscreensaver_gl_packageswhich now is['fireflies', 'libopengl-xscreensaver-perl', 'xscreensaver-data-extra', 'xscreensaver-gl', 'xscreensaver-gl-extra', 'xscreensaver-screensaver-bsod', 'xscreensaver-screensaver-dizzy', 'xscreensaver-screensaver-webcollage']
On PseudoColor (8-bit) displays,install a private colormapwhile the screensaver is active,so that the graphics hacks can get as many colors as possible.This is the default.Seexscreensaver(1)for details.
this module manages only onexscreensaver_defaults_profile.You can re-use the template xscreensaver/xscreensaver_defaults.erb,though.It looks for the configuration variables in the current module scope(thus prepending $module_name::before each of the configuration variable's name). 2ff7e9595c
