Currently users are able to select a single specific screensaver, or have kscreensaver randomly select from all of the available screensaves. But a given user may only like a handful of screensavers, and some screensavers may be too graphics-intensive for a certain computer. I think it would be extremely useful if users were able to choose which screensavers and/or screensaver catergories they want to use with the random screensaver. This could be as simple as a check box next to each screensaver and next to each screensaver category.

and there are some screensavers which need to be configured (and instead of a screensaver you get a message: screensaver not configured)

AIRC, Gnome (and/or XFCE) has had this for some time, and I know I've been a little disappointed that in KDE you can only configure if 3D (openGL) screensavers are run or not.

Turns out this is one of the oldest open wishlist items in bugs.kde.org:

ability to deactivate screensavers with "random" module
