You an editor like gedit. Open your .xscreensaver file with it.
Then there should be an option in the Edit menu to find and replace
strings with other strings. ( Might be listed as "Replace" )
Then tell it to search for ${libexecdir} and replace it
with /usr/libexec/ .
Then you should get a list of xscreensavers. :) Its just a hack, but it
works for now.
