The real question is, why it's using static libXt.a instead of the
shared libXt.so. What does "file /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.*" say?

Well you don't, obviously. xscreensaver-gnome replaces the buggy
screensaver normally included with controlcenter, which I ripped out.
It's not at all convenient to make controlcenter depend on
xscreensaver-gnome, since xscreensaver-gnome installs it's control
panel into gnomecc (controlcenter), so I moved it up the chain.

BTW, you can run any window manager you want under gnome -- the
full-blown gnome environment doesn't even include a window manager.
The main requirement in a window manager, for gnome-compatibility, is
that it doesn't grab button-1, leaving button-1 for manipulating the
"gmc" desktop icons and activating the gnome pop-up menus.
