Umm.....

=====================================
% locate screensaver-properties.desktop
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/applications/screensaver-properties.desktop
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/control-center/Desktop/screensaver-properties.desktop
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/control-center/capplets/screensaver-properties.desktop
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/control-center-2.0/capplets/screensaver-properties.desktop
=====================================

Very insteresting.. Maybe later, I won't mind to submit over at GNOME 
Bugzilla and complain about need to clean up the *.desktop and put them 
where they are supposed to be at. Also, be sure there are only one place; 
not multi-places ability that get me confuse as hell.
