Electric sheep

I love this screensaver and am using it on both machines one
Intrepid and one Jaunty

My question is that the version running on Jaunty does not stop
running when the mouse is moved. I literally have to hit the Esc
key to get it to stop. Is this normal or is there a setting
somewhere that I can change this behaviour?

In both cases I had to download the megapacks to get them to work,
but thats OK with me
they are quite mesmerizing.

The mouse never had a affect on screen savers as far as I know on
Windows or Linux. It was always the hitting of any key. If you have put
a tick in to lock the screen saver it will call for a password.

I'm currently using the "Pictures Folder" screensaver in Jaunty.
Moving the mouse does work. I have to really move it a bit, and then
it takes a couple seconds or so to uncover the screen. I do not have
it set to lock the screen, I don't think that makes any difference
though.

Moving the mouse has Always released the screensaver on both Windows
98, XP , Vista and Win 7 Beta And Ubuntu 8.10 except for electric
sheep on Jaunty. Locking the screen has no affect on this anomaly.
Its no big deal, I can live with this- but if there is a way to make
it behave normally I would like to know how to do it.
