I also had Xorg hang today with the "flux" screensaver, also from the
rss-glx package.  The X server (well, some remnant of it) also ended up
hammering my CPU with 99.9% usage after I attempted to kill it, so any
operations from my command-line SSH session went very slowly.

I would like to simply disable the rss-glx screensavers, but the gnome-
screensaver applet doesn't let me disable them individually (see LP#
31979: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-screensaver/+bug/31979).  I am
going to try to disable them via a gconf-editor workaround I added to
that bug report, but I may end up removing the rss-glx package if gnome-
screensaver still attempts to run these binaries.

rss-glx is a dependency of the ubuntu-desktop pseudo-package, so I'd
have to remove ubuntu-desktop as well.  I'd rather not do that, since it
can assist in upgrades by guiding the system to load appropriate
packages when things split or get replaced by alternate programs.
