KDE Artwork Web Collage Screensaver

[mgsAbfnc]

Hi, there!

I just found something on Mageia 2 that really requires some attention.

I was configuring a new machine with Mageia 2 KDE and, when I got to the screensavers setup, I found there is one called 'Web Collage'.

It seems it fetches random images on random internet pages. The risk of getting porn or something worse is very high.

You only see a warning if you open the settings of Web Collage, which most people won't do. And many people use the random screensaver option, which will eventually expose them to something bad. Imagine some porn photos on your work pc in an open space...

After some research, I've seen that, in Fedora, it only displays local images. In Ubuntu, it is in a separate package, which is not installed by default. In OpenSuse it seems to have stopped working.

What about Mageia? Has the problem also been mitigated, like in other distros?

If not, is there something that can be done? At least for Mageia 3?

Haven't tested Mageia 3 Alpha 1 yet. Hope to do it soon...

Keep up the good work!
