UI issues aside..you'd have to store the per-user configs somewhere...
that means making room in GConf for per-xscreensaver-hack
configuration keys. Which means creating schema for each and every
xscreensaver-hack which could take per-user configs as well as keys
which can be applied across all screensaver-hacks on a per-user basis.
So that it could be locked down at a site policy level.
