Yes I RTFM for xscreensaver, but it didn't tell me much.
this doesn't solve the gnome issues and may conflict but works just fine for me with windowmaker. i just put "xscreensaver -no-splash &" in my ~/.xinitrc. if you're using xdm instead of startx you need to put it in your ~/.xsession file instead. adam.
