Somewhere in your "Preferences"  menu you should have the item
"Startup Applications".
Select this item.
A "Startup Applications Preferences" window should apper.
Scroll down until you see the item "Screensaver".
Make sure it is checked.
Then, in order to make it active, I think that a simple logout
followed by a login from GNOME should suffice. If not try with a
reboot...
... Sorry I don't use GNOME neither gnome-screensaver (used to do in the past)

Hope this help :)
