I found stuff (untested)!  I googled for "xcreensaver slideshow" and found
a FAQ <http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html>.  Item 1 says to use an
external program such as chbg or xv (shareware), while "yum search
slideshow" brings up some possible programs (feh, gallery2?).  It also
shows how to configure xscreensaver to use such programs.
