This doesn't seem to narrow a root cause, though; I'd like to know more
than just "reload the driver."

Here's my speculation:

I suspect that newer 3D imaging software/drivers have issues with an
nvidia driver/hardware.  I doubt it's a gnome-screensaver-specific
thing.

When I updated my Dapper install with _all_ the newest software,
problems arose.  When I reloaded a fresh Dapper (6.06.1) install, things
worked again.

I have a 7600 GTS.

I realize I didn't answer all your Qs/requests; if you need more let me
know, although I'm getting distracted with other work.
