Not as far as I know -- we're running GNOME at work, and the variety is
strictly from the original packager, "Xscreensaver-gnome" (original,
huh?).  You can set preferences (like using a blank screen...some of
the patterns use *insane* amounts of CPU) or just browse the selection
by running "xscreensaver-demo".  The home page can be found at:
