xscreensavers configuration tool to configure it. (Or modify the
configuration file by hand.)
In GNOME they've decided that changing the settings of screen savers
is too complex for their users. No screen savers have any direct
configurations. (This is another thing in KDE's favor, IMO. KDE doesn't
expect the users to be total idiots.)
Abhishek is correct in that the only way to change the configuration is
to modify the .desktop file and change the arguments being passed in. My
recommendation, though, is that you copy the file and make the changes
in your copy. This will prevent your changes from being destroyed when
you perform an OS update.
It should even be possible to use this as a tool to understand how to
create packages for your system. You have a dependancy and a file that
needs placed in the proper place. You can't get much simpler.
Cheers,
