I'd like to note that I've built xfree4.0.3 for a bunch of machines, and
I've never seen this problem, but I only install the server and a couple
special libraries (Xinerama, for example). I don't install all the
libraries, because a) it breaks rpm dependencies and b) it breaks some of
the X applications built for 3.3.6 (namely a locally built netscape). I
suspect it's a compatibility problem with the new XFree libraries and your
Xscreensaver.
