Update Information:

On Fedora 12 abrt seems to be installed by default and  with abrt several bug
reports related to segfault issue  are reported agains xscreensaver. However not
a few of them  do not have enough information and many vairables are  reported
as "optimized out". This issue seems to have been  fixed in gcc bug 556975.
This new xscreensaver is rebuilt against newer gcc so that  we can get more
useful debug information.
