Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
I just noticed that gnome-screensaver has a screensaver which displays
random pictures from ~/Pictures without asking. This can be a serious
privacy issue, if user has confidential images (read: home porn) in the
directory. F-Spot imports photos to ~/Pictures by default.
Luckily my colleagues got to see only some trekking photos.
