Then you probably have to deal with the problem that the Gnome screensaver
configuration tool messes things up. Read
http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#gnomecc
If you don't want to upgrade to versions of xscreensaver and
gnome-control-center that do not have this problem, then configure
xscreensaver by editing
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver-nogl for system-wide defaults,
~/.xscreensaver (suppose 3.34 has that file) for user customization
and never touch the Gnome screensaver configuration tool.
To make xscreensaver start on every login to Gnome, put the line
xscreensaver &
into
~/.xsession
before the line
gnome-session
