Okay... i made the small change in the Specfile and I got a binary
that installs in parallel with xscreensaver. I also made an example
rebuild of control-center with the requires change.
If you use update to that control-center binary.. you can then remove
xscreensaver-base if gnome-screensaver is installed. Thats basically
how you solve the problems in the original post to this thread. We'd
actually be better off if we could drop that screensaver "packagename"
requirement in control-center completely.. since its sort of abusing
"requirement" in the strict sense...but thats a long debate to be had
with the Core desktop developers and its not going to be solved in
this thread.

The whole discussion is pointless as long as there are virtual provides
in the Extras package which interfere with Core package names. This is a
show-stopper. Upgrading xscreensaver-base currently removes
gnome-screensaver, simply because gnome-screensaver "Provides:
xscreensaver-base".
