In the gnome-screensaver rpm there is a script named
migrate-xscreensaver-config.sh that will make the needed .desktop files
for you.
I got rid of the gnome screensaver so I forgot where this script
resides, but a 'locate migrate-xscreensaver-config.sh' will find it for
you.
The .xml files located in /usr/share/xscreensaver/config need to
be fed to the script so the output will be placed
in /usr/share/gnome-screensaver/themes directory.
So if you were to cd to the /usr/share/gnome-screensaver/themes, then
run: /path-to/migrate-xscreensaver-config.sh /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/*.xml
(you must be root to do this!).
