Well, I guess webcollage always gets random images - jwz can't and
won't do anything to clean it up. I don't have a problem with that,
but was just noting I can't disable it without deleting it.
Also, it should maybe be disabled by default as it's defnitely not
work safe... but I can't disable it at all!
I was reminded by cow-orkers that 'special pictures' were on my
monitor during my vacation, which prompted my email.

As far as I know, it just does. We don't do anything special in
xscreensaver-gnome to make it more offensive (in fact, we disable
offensive fortunes by default).

You should be able to go into the xscreensaver capplet, and disable
webcollage and webcollage-whacked. If not, I would bug Jamie
(http://www.jwz.com).
