Gnome & xscreensaver dont' really get along all that well.

The documentation on xscreensaver's website DOES actualy work, however your Gnome settings can override what you tell xscreensaver to do using xscreensaver-demo.

Rather than using xscreensaver's configuration tools, Gnome gives you it's own screensaver configuration and keeps those settings stored seperately.

When Gnome launches xscreensaver, it passes all of your Gnome configured settings to it on the commandline, overrieding anything you have set in the xscreensaver configuration.

So when you add things to xscreensaver's configuration it won't affect Gnome. I haven't figured out how to update Gnome's screensaver options, but I think if you configure Gnome to not even USE a screensaver, and then manually put xscreensaver into your startup, you can get Gnome to keep it's paws out of your xscreensaver configuration.
