Well, after posting, I thought I'd try to install synaptic, to give me greater access. And indeed, the apps I was looking for were there. All except xscreensaver.

The idea is that the Software Center is focused on showing the most polished GUI apps, and that more advanced users (who among other things understand the difference between an app and a package) can use dnf from the command line (or another GUI like yumex). -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader
My vote: some ability to install whatever is available in the repositories, without having to jump all over the place to find stuff.
Many thanks!
