When I first heard about webcollage about a month ago I went a step further
and removed the following 5 files so there would be no way it could get
accidentally re-enabled.
/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/webcollage
/usr/X11R6/man/man1/webcollage.1.gz
/usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/webcollage.desktop
/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/webcollage-helper
/usr/share/control-center/screensavers/webcollage.xml
Now it does not even show up in the list of screen savers.
Note that if you do an rpm verify these files will be reported as missing, but
that is to be expected.
