More importantly, more screensavers can and probably should be added to the gnome-screensaver list. But the default behaviour should indeed be the one that saves the most power, thus power down the screen after a while of inactivity. Actually it might be a good idea to add a "Note: screen savers are usually processor intensive and can drain your battery faster." to the gnome-screensaver preferences when on a laptop and the user chooses anything else than blank. Heck, maybe even make it unconditional and show it always for the environmentally clueless.
