[wplug] Gnome crashes under X4.0.2

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.
