xFX: I thought you might like to know that the current version of gnome-
screensaver can accept themes from
~/.local/share/applications/screensavers, as well as
/usr/share/applications/screensavers. I've attached a hacked version of
screensaver-settings, which modifies themes in this folder rather than
in /usr/share/... . I'm not an experienced programmer, so it's kinda
kludgy -- e.g, it can't create the directory
~/.local/share/applications/screensavers if it doesn't already exist --
but otherwise it seems to work more or less as expected, so it can
persistently modify screensaver settings (per user) without root access.

It's really just a proof of concept, but it'd be nice to have something
like this in the next version of screensaver-settings
