You're getting confused when you see xscreensaver*-gss in the
gnome-screensaver dependency list. Note that the gss stands for
"gnome-screensaver". xscreensaver*-gss is a compatibility thing that
allows gnome-screensaver to work with xscreensaver. If you're using
xscreensaver on its own (like I do) you don't need xscreensaver*-gss as
it would serve no purpose.
You can have a complete, working xscreensaver installation with all the
toys available by doing "yum remove gnome-screensaver" and then
installing the following rpms:
xscreensaver-base
xscreensaver-gl-base
xscreensaver-gl-extras
xscreensaver-extras
Curiouser and curiouser. I did the remove, followed immediately
by yum install plus the four above (by c&p). The response was "already
installed and latest version
Nothing to do" -- for all four. (This is F10, btw.) Many thanks!
