-The screensaver coordinator program will run the default graphics app instead of science graphics when no project graphics are available.  This can occur for a number of reasons, such as when BOINC is suspended or idle, when the running science applications don't support graphics, etc.  In these cases, the default graphics app should indicate the reason for not displaying science graphics.

-== Default graphics app ==

 The default graphics app will be implemented using OpenGL,
 using the BOINC graphics library framework.
 It will be configurable via a local XML file,
 and also via general preferences.
