Re: gnome-core requires xscreensaver?

Thats more a dependency to prevent confused newbies. The 
control-center/panel/whatachmacallit has an xscreensaver capplet. So 
installing a capplet without the application will cause confusion. Besides 
RH includes
xscreensaver in the dist so more then likely it will be installed.

-> Seriously, can xscreensaver do the real thing and just "xset dpms"?

xscreensaver does more then just blank the screen :)
