I just installed gnome-screensaver and it seemed to set up just fine. Hoiwever, it does not come on at the specified inactive period irrespective of which particular flavor I am using. Any suggestions?

Do you have a user session of dbus running? If not, try changing "exec gnome-session" to "exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session" in your .xinitrc, or putting this (ripped right from the dbus-launch man page) in your .bashrc:
if test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ; then
eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
echo "D-BUS per-session daemon address is: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS"
fi
(The third line is optional.)
GDM launches a dbus session without any configuration though, so if you use GDM the problem must be something else.

I've found that pam configuration file for gnome-screensaver is missing. It makes unable to unlock screen, when it's locked. For now I copied it from xscreensaver package.

Please submit a bug report if it hasn't been done.
