I have a minor request concerning Xscreensaver. Could somebody consider using something like this:
http://www.swanson.ukfsn.org/xss/ in a future VL release? It's a patch that changes the little xscreensaver screen lock window. I've already created a package for myself, but I could only get the patch to work with version 4.24 (current is 5.08 I think). I wouldn't even ask this but that little lock window (probably rarely seen) is one of a very few things in contemporary Linux that's just flat out ugly.

P.S. I forgot to mention that the guy who wrote the patch (from the web link above) has several themes, one of which looks like this:

Obviously anybody willing to do this could make their own theme.
