In order for a screen saver to be fully compatible with Snow Leopard, you must add an Intel 64 slice that supports GC. The reason is because both the screen saver engine and System Preferences run as Intel 64 apps on Snow Leopard if the user's Mac supports 64-bit addressing, and at least System Preferences also uses GC in the Intel 64 slice.
