That's correct. I realize now that xscreensaver-gnome takes care of the 
xscreensaver dependents.

Doesn't this mean that the "xscreensaver" package is obsolete? Should we 
just remove it from the distribution or re-name "xscreensaver-gnome" to 
"xscreensaver"?

It seems unnecessary to have 2 versions, one being a subset of the other.
