Comment:

 Sorry, I was too quick with my conclusion. The screensavers still don't
 work when running in 'live cd'-mode.

 They will however start to work after invoking `screen_blanker` once in
 `Terminal`:
  1. boot a nightly cd
  2. wait 15 minutes, or start `ScreenSaver` and click on the `Test` button
  - the currently selected screensaver (`Blackness`) will not start (the
 screen doesn't turn black)
  3. crash `screenSaver` by clicking on the list (if you didn't wait 15
 minutes at step 2)
  4. open `Terminal` and start `screen_blanker`
  - the currently selected screensaver (`Blackness`) starts (the screen
 turns black)
  5. start `ScreenSaver` and click on the `Test` button
  - the currently selected screensaver (`Blackness`) does now start
 normally (the screen turns black)
