Actually, that would be... suboptimal. :) A better way to do this is:

1. Kill the old xscreensaver, and uninstall it (if necessary)
2. Install the new one, and start it up
3. Run xscreensaver-demo
4. Make a change anywhere in the dialog, to any parameter (this is
necessary to force a write of ~/.xscreensaver in the next step)
5. File | Exit
6. Stop xscreensaver
7. vi ~/.xscreensaver, and change the quad option to "True"
8. Start xscreensaver again

This is not as complicated as it sounds. :) I must say, the quad feature
is pretty cool, although it does seem to get a little confused about my
virtual display occasionally.
