How to get a clock screensaver running under ubuntu

I love ubuntu (especially fiesty). It’s now very very close to “just works”(with new dell support I’ll love it more). But…, what the f***. There is no clock screensaver by default? And WTF with gnome-screensaver that doesn’t let me set the text to display on gltext. So, here is the quick fix

change the this line in the file /usr/share/applications/screensavers/gltext.desktop

from

Exec=gltext -root

To

Exec=gltext -root -text “%A%n%d %b %Y%n%l:%M:%S %p” -front

save and you are done.
