Description of problem:
i dont think the anaconda graphical installer has a screensaver built in...it would be great for a screensaver to start up when the computer is idle, during the install.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install fc3 via anaconda graphical install.
2. no screensaver starts up even when the computer is idle.
3.
  

Actual Results:  no screensaver starts up even though the system is idle for more than 5 minutes.

Expected Results:  start up a screensaver say after 3 minutes of idleness.

With even remotely modern monitors, screensavers aren't generally a real
requirement.  At the same time, for a large number of reasons, we try to keep
the installer as small as possible.

So it's pretty unlikely that we'll ever add this unless some compelling reason
develops.
