Update Information:

There was some bug reports against xscreensaver hacks.    One is that substrate
crashes on occasion (bug 545847). This new  rpm will fix this. The other is that
apple2 crashes on occasion (bug 540790). This new rpm may fix this issue (note
that there was a bug in apple2 anyway and this rpm fixed it).
