xscreensaver stops working

I noticed in an update today that an application f-spot (a photo viewer) suddenly required gnome-screensaver which was then installed as a dependency.
As a result, xscreensaver which I have installed and prefer over gnome-screensaver was no longer functional.

If you find your xscreensaver suddenly no longer works due to an upgrade (and you weren't paying attention) do this:

yum -e f-spot gnome-screensaver

and all will be well with the world again.
