I did notify the port's maintainer a while back, haven't heard
from him yet. I have not yet sent a PR because I am not sure that the
screensavers not having the suid bit is actually a "problem," or just a
symptom of something else. A short term solution would be to stick a chmod
command in the post-install target of the port makefile, but I'd rather
leave that decision to Stefan. OTOH, the sheer weight of the number of
questions on this is beginning to gather a momentum of its own....
