If I downgrade to 4.14 or below, then compile it without the
${PTHREAD_LIBS} and the xscreensaver-gnome works fine.

See the 'xscreensaver-gnome & threads' thread. We have three people that
who aren't using Nvidia driver.
We have the same issue, but different video card:
-Nvidia driver
-ATI radeon 7000 w/ DRI enable
-Radeon 9000 in dual head without DRI
-Unknown, but he doesn't has any Nvidia driver

Ok, I will test your patch this afternoon.

I doubt there's something wrong with my installtion. Around two to three
weeks ago, I formatted my HD and did the clean installtion of 5.2-CURRENT,
then went right straight to update ports tree and grab MarcusCOM CVS for
GNOME 2.5.x. After that, all I did was add debug in the /etc/make.conf and
do the 'make install' then install Nvidia driver and the
xscreensaver-gnome doesn't even work by default installtion.
All above made me believe that there is a new bug in the
xscreensaver-gnome 4.15.
