Hi Pasha,

As a workaround, you can do what I did, and install xscreensaver.  It 
continues to have the complete set of legacy, gl, etc. screensavers that 
we've seen developed over the last 20 years.

(You'll also have to go into gnome-session-properties to take out 
gnome-screensaver and add xscreensaver.)

$ rpm -qa | grep "^xscreensaver"
xscreensaver-base-5.14-1.fc15.x86_64
xscreensaver-gl-base-5.14-1.fc15.x86_64
xscreensaver-5.14-1.fc15.x86_64
xscreensaver-gl-extras-5.14-1.fc15.x86_64
xscreensaver-extras-5.14-1.fc15.x86_64
xscreensaver-extras-base-5.14-1.fc15.x86_64


I would also like to point out that contradicting someone's ideas isn't 
necessarily hostile, but is necessary for expressing different points of 
view...
