I think the inability to set the preferences in a screensaver is shortsighted at best. Efforts should be made to discard the "won't fix" upstream and, perhaps, develop an in-house tweak to add the missing functionality. I won't comment on the Gnome team's reasons for crippling the functionality because IMHO they are to put it mildly, bozotic, nearsighted and ridiculous.
