Yeah, I thought that at first, but the panel, control-center, etc,
assume all over the place that the screensaver in question is jwz's
xscreensaver (in terms of command-line arguments, behavior, etc), and
since xscreensaver itself loses if you try to rename it to something
else (we had to hack the source), it doesn't make a lot of sense for
GNOME to include the ability to rename it...
