Hehe, I've had several people complain about 'random' crashes, usually
when they arrived at work in the morning or came back from coffee. All of
them related to 3D screensavers :)
Maybe disabling 3D screensavers by default (and/or a warning about the
potential to crash when people open the screensaver configuration) would
reduce the uncomfortable (unstable) feeling people got when using Linux in
these cases.
