From my perspective, the point isn't so much in saving the screen, but rather the possibility to lock the session with it. I understand that not everybody have their machines in locations where other people frequently share the space, but I think it's quite a strong usecase to consider, nonetheless. I do realize that every additional piece of software running causes some unneeded overhead, so I'm of course willing to see it opt-in by default. -- Janne (astraljava) Jokitalo
