Run the topline in a terminal and you should have the below rpms 
installed. My versions might differ from FC4, but the packages should 
all be installed. If they are not installed, instal them. The extras are 
on the install discs, disc 4. You can also get then using yum or up2date.

rpm -qa |grep xscreen
xscreensaver-gl-extras-4.21-4
xscreensaver-extras-4.21-4
xscreensaver-base-4.21-4

Additionally, kde has an additional choice for setup. This button lets 
you select the gl and extras screensavers. By default, all you get is 
the blank screensaver.
