Screensaver
By default, Fedora has the default screensaver daemon set to gnome-screensaver. how do i change that to xscreensaver? (I prefer xscreensaver to gnome's screensaver daemon)

Re: Screensaver
Just a guess...
System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications
Disable/remove "Screensaver" item. Put in a new one for xscreensaver.

Re: Screensaver
I've found that Fedora will always activate gnome-screensaver, even if you've told it not to if it's there. The only way to be sure is to uninstall gnome-screensaver.
