You're getting confused when you see xscreensaver*-gss in the gnome-screensaver dependency list. Note that the gss stands for "gnome-screensaver". xscreensaver*-gss is a compatibility thing that allows gnome-screensaver to work with xscreensaver. If you're using xscreensaver on its own (like I do) you don't need xscreensaver*-gss as it would serve no purpose.
You can have a complete, working xscreensaver installation with all the toys available by doing "yum remove gnome-screensaver" and then installing the following rpms:
xscreensaver-base xscreensaver-gl-base xscreensaver-gl-extras xscreensaver-extras
Curiouser and curiouser. I did the remove, followed immediately by yum install plus the four above (by c&p). The response was "already installed and latest version Nothing to do" -- for all four. (This is F10, btw.) Many thanks!
