There's a saver called "Pictures Folder" that lets you display images
that are in ~/Pictures.

The gnome screensaver does not allow configuration options for some
bizarre reason.  If you want to have a configurable screen saver, use
xscreensaver.  However, avoid the saver that downloads random images
from the internet like the plague.  It is a mega security problem and
ought to be removed from the package.
