I don't think these are acceptable. Our users will complain loudly if their 
screensavers stop working. And then blogs and forum posts will pop up with 
various buggy hacks for how to use xscreensaver directly in KDE, with the 
resulting support nightmare.

As useless as a screensaver is these days, users LOVE these things and will 
NOT put up with losing that feature.
