xscreensaver-gnome doesn't start?

[Derrick Ryalls]

Greetings,

I have xscreensaver-gnome installed but it doesn't want to start.  I have
tried adjusting the wait time down to 1 minute but that didn't help.  Last
night I even tried deleting xscreensaver-hacks (not sure what that was) and
doing a normal install of x11/xscreensaver-gnome but it still doesn't run.
My machine is a laptop running FreeBSD 6.0 and gnome 2.12.

Thanks in advance for any clues, I am sure I am missing something small
again.
