I played a bit with screensavers and I found that xscreensaver is hard to deal with. First, I encountered black screen during OpenIndiana installation (very annoying for newcomers). Then after the installation I saw few screen lockups where I was unable to get out of them without a hard hammer. There are also other more or less serious issues with xscreensaver. As a result I simply uninstalled the desktop/xscreensaver and installed desktop/mate/mate-screensaver and I no longer see any problems with screensavers or screen locking.

So I propose to replace xscreensaver by mate-screensaver in the default desktop installation.

There is also this thread showing how confusing the xscreensaver is.
