I'm running CentOS (RHEL) 5.0, and it only comes with four
screensavers.  I'm also interested in getting more, but I do not have
either of the above noted directories on my system.

Yum tells me I have gnome-screensaver.x86_64 installed, version
2.16.1.  I tried to install 2.16.3 from gnome, but configure blew up
when I tried to run it with this:

checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module
is required for intltool

I'm not sure where to go from here....
