Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

Reproducable.
xubuntu 9.10
some more package informations: see end of message.

"long" version, see :
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8876912#post8876912

"short" version:

After installing the package "rss-glx" all GL-screensavers (e.g.
AntSpotLight) show a black screen instead of any GL-animation in the
preview-windows (the small and the big one). The simple screensavers
still work (e.g. the Gnome feets).

My final steps were these, otherwise I got the black screen:

-> Uninstalling gnome-screensaver (the additional packages may remain) and the proprietary graphics driver (reboot).
-> Installing all the packages for gnome-screensaver incl. the pretty "rss-glx"-package (aka Really Slick Screensavers), but at this point not the gnome-screensaver itself (reboot for safety).
-> Installing gnome-screensaver, the GL-screensaver work again (no black screen), but terrible slow, of course.
-> Installing the proprietary driver again, all GL-screensavers are still working.

Also I wasn't able to use "xorg-driver-fglrx" instead of the proprietary
driver:

After installing the package "xorg-driver-fglrx" (and the dependencies)
in same order of steps as describes as above (incl. reboots before that,
because of uninstalling the proprietary driver), I got the black screen
again.

If you need any logs, please tell me where to find them. If I shall do
any actions to log and for logging, please tell me.

Thanks.
