ok, so I kinda dropped the ball here. screensaver security depends on the c++ plasmoids telling the truth about what features they use. for 4.3 I went through kdebase and kdeplasma-addons and ensured that they were all up to date. I haven't done this for 4.4, and with less than a week to final tagging, I'm not going to get through them all on my own.
the process is pretty simple: play with an applet, skim through its source code, and find any dangerous things it does (like showing a filedialog). When such things are found, they can either be made optional or marked as required. when nothing is found, they can be marked as safe. I have a wiki page with more details, and the results from 4.3: http://techbase.kde.org/User:Chani/Plans/ConstraintsList if you've got some spare time, please pick a few applets (I usually do them in batches of 5) and test them out. I expect most haven't changed, so 90% of the time it'll just be a matter of marking that on the wiki. :) if you find a confusing one, feel free to ask me about it. -- This message brought to you by eevil bananas and the number 3. www.chani3.com
