I don't think it's perfectly normal in the world of Linux to install extra
software in anywhere but /usr/local and /opt (except $HOME ;-).  Dispite
your initial warning I feel compelled to reply to this.  Anyway, good luck
with xscreensaver, maybe someone can talk them into doing things in a more
sane fashion?  I have no experience, but I trust Jeff's opinion on it.  It
would certainly be nice to have xscreensaver as a part of GARNOME.
