I like to run specific screen savers explicitly, when I choose to watch
them. It's a formal art form, and occasionally amusing.

I don't usually need it to start automatically. And if I have
multiple virtual consoles (Ctl alt F8, etc.) I have no use for having
it running on a console that doesn't have screen space at the moment.
