could you please stop the thread in the current form - there was a
complete loss of arguments in here.

Additionally could you try to consider other arguments for the use of
gnome-screensaver as well and not just "I can't configure my
screensaver"?
      * gnome-screensaver is tightly integrated with
        gnome-power-manager, which enables us to do stuff like locking
        after opening the lid again.
      * gnome-screensaver uses dbus and can therefore receive messages
        from video players and other goodness.
      * gnome-screensaver is the first attempt to integrate the
        screensaver more directly into the desktop.

I'm sure the gnome-screensaver maintainer could add even more facts to
the list. In contrast to the amount of good things the screensaver
brings, the (at least in my eyes) unlikely use case of "configure my
screensavers" is not that important.

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
