Sorry for the delay.

The binaries for XScreenSaver are stored in "/usr/lib/xscreensaver".  To
run any of them, from a shell, use something like "./glslideshow", or
from nautilus double-click on any of them.  Usually, the 3D ones start
with "gl".  Also make sure you have 3D Hardware Acceleration working in
your system.  "glxinfo" is a good command to tell you that.
