Kubuntu 9.04 screensaver action

After upgrading Kubuntu 8.10 to 9.04 not a minute too soon, I decided to turn on some screensavers by apt-get installing a load of stuff that apt-cache search screensaver found for me.

None of it showed up in the desktop settings, so I decided to can the K screensaver system and replace it with the X one :

$ sudo apt-get install xscreen*
$ mv /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/krunner_lock /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/krunner_lock.old
$ cat > /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/krunner_lock
#!/bin/sh
xscreensaver-command -lock
^D
$ sudo chmod a+x /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/krunner_lock

That's it. If only I could rewire the Garage Pressure show over Radio 1 too.
