I agree that neither of the reasons they list are very good. Having one extra button to open a second dialogue hardly clutters the UI, and makes it no harder for the user. To let system admins lock down settings, they should simply provide a "Don't show or let users open advanced controls." key.
UI issues aside..you'd have to store the per-user configs somewhere... that means making room in GConf for per-xscreensaver-hack configuration keys. Which means creating schema for each and every xscreensaver-hack which could take per-user configs as well as keys which can be applied across all screensaver-hacks on a per-user basis. So that it could be locked down at a site policy level.
So, do you know who to contact to make this happen? Do you think this would be considered? Who would have to be convinced?
