This is one of those annoying "me too" messages - I'm stumbling on 
gnome-screensaver as well...

Does anyone know why gnome-screensaver was chosen instead of xscreensaver?

xscreensaver is easy to use, unlocks *much* faster, and works with 
existing software (e.g. totem and mplayer - gnome-screensaver has the 
annoying habit of interrupting while totem and mplayer are playing. 
acpi-support also requires xscreensaver for the moment).

gnome-screensaver, on the other hand, doesn't seem very mature, with 
most stuff only configurable thru gconf-editor.

Sorry for the rant,
