I seem to have managed to solve most probs with x-screensaver. I also
had an issue where only one screensaver would come up, regardless of any
setting I may have set. All problems seem to have been solved however,
by completely removing gnome-screensaver using Synaptic.

Your problem sounds identical to what I had, I was running Ubuntu 6.06
on a Pentium III 600Mhz with 384MB of RAM. (Hey! I'm a student!) but
I've just upgraded to Edgy Eft.
