Whoops. Forget what I wrote earlier. In gdm.conf, find these options:
BackgroundProgram
RunBackgroundProgramAlways
Change them to something like this:
BackgroundProgram=xscreensaver -nosplash
RunBackgroundProgramAlways=true
There are more details in the xscreensaver man page under the "Using
GDM" section.
