screensaver menu entries

I dont know if this should be reported as a bug or not.
Currently when i go to System-->Preferences there are two entries for
screensaver. One is for the xscreensaver and one is for the new gnome
screensaver. Only the gnome-screensaver is running (opening up the
preferences for xscreensaver - topmost screensaver entry - gives an
error about xscreensaver daemon not running)  so shouldnt the
preferences entry for the one not in use be hidden. Im not sure its a
bug as it is not an entry for the same thing, just that only 1 needs
to be there. Also from reading the mailing list I gatehr there is or
was some debate about which screensaver program will be used for
Breezy so will the other one be removed entirely once the decision is
made?

On a related note I was trying to take a screenshot whilst I had the
menu open to demonstrate my double entry in case it is not universal
but the print scrn button fails to work when the menu has focus. I
think that this is certainly a bug but I think it is probably an
upstream bug for gnome so shall i open one in ubuntus bugzilla or go
upstream?
