Ah... I should have remembered xscreensaver<-> bsd-games issue.
Indeed for FC/E devel this issue is resolved by:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197741

However, I forgot when moving man entry of FC5 core xscreensaver from
1 (this conflicts with barcode in FE) to 6, this again conflicts with bsd-games
(in FE).
