The thing I don't like about the included screensaver capplet is that
it presents a black box where there's supposed to be a demo. In fact,
the "demo" is simply a png, support for which appears to be broken.

What command line? The xscreensaver-demo configuration tool is
basically the same stand-alone program in the non-gnome version, with
hooks to run within the control-center space.
