Usually you run xscreensaver-demo and uncheck the screensavers that you
do not want.
using noof and collage as a search, the below came up for files.
Webcollage is the screensaver that you really do not want on your

locate noof
/usr/libexec/xscreensaver/noof
/usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/noof.desktop
/usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/images/tool-options/gradient-nooffset.png
/usr/share/man/man1/noof.1.gz
/usr/share/xscreensaver/config/noof.xml
[root at localhost ~]# locate collage
/usr/libexec/xscreensaver/webcollage-helper

Well fix that in the next (upgrade, update, patch release, service pack).
