As root:
rpm -e gnome-screensaver gnome-screensaver-debuginfo

As user:
open terminal and run xscreensaver-demo
answer yes to load daemon
configure your choice of screensavers
The screensavers should now work.

PS - removing gnome-screensaver is a ritual performed after each recent 
install. Some useful packages are deprecated (mozilla-mail, mc, gftp 
....) and lesser packages get pulled into core. (gnome-screensaver, 
crippled versions of audio/video software, ...)
