The xscreensaver packages and the gnome-screensaver packages have been
complimented with new packages that you may need on your system to see
the extra screensavers within gnome-screensaver.

I am assuming that you are using gnome-screensaver as the controlling
application.

An excerpt from the maintainer/developer update information is below:

In this update, gnome-screensaver compatibility for xcreensaver-extras
and xscreensaver-gl-extras was implemented in the new
xscreensaver-extras-gss and xscreensaver-gl-extras-gss subpackages. You
need to install these additional packages if you want to use the
xscreensaver hacks in gnome-screensaver.
