I think that the patches you attached touched more things than you > intended. The problem is two-fold. One, the GNOME datadir is not being set correctly. Therefore, the .desktop files are installed in /usr/X11R6/share instead of /usr/X11R6/share/gnome. This breaks the plist and also leaves us GNOME users without a screensaver capplet icon in gnomecc. Next, since the pixmaps for xscreensaver are not installed in /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/pixmaps, gnomecc cannot find an icon for the screensaver capplet. I modified the .desktop file so that the fully-qualified path to the xscreensaver.xpm is specified. I don't think my patches touched more then intended, but it's certainly possible I have some extra cruft in there. I'll go back and take a look.
