grrrr.... we had this discussion in fedora-maintainers list..exactly
about this package.

If gnome-screensaver  provides "xscreensaver" then the
"xscreensaver-base" package is removed from the system on
install/updates of gnome-screensaver.  I have to ask... is
xscreensaver-base package going to be removed from rawhide?

If these two packages are suppose to co-exist on system.. the
packaging of xscreensaver-base and gnome-screensaver AND
control-center needs to be re-thought. Because as these packages are
provided right now... you can't easily have both xscreensaver-base and
gnome-screensaver at the same time. The obsoletes of "xscreensaver" in
xscreensaver-base complicates the situation.
