I'm [newly] running Lubuntu 12.04, have installed XScreensaver 5.15 (28-Sep-2011) and then removed several screensavers that seem to be too much for the Pentium 4, and/or the 512 MB RAM and/or the graphics card I have. Removing the actual screensavers wasn't a problem. [As an aside - I'm really liking the whole Ubuntu 12.04 on older hardware experience with Lubuntu - it's really snappy and looks nice]
All of the xscreensavers I deleted, including some that seemed to have been listed by default (I believe they were there and greyed-out before I ever installed xscreensavers) are still listed under Preferences à Screensaver in the LXDE desktop. These screensavers are listed as “Not Installed.”
Apparently these screensavers are still selectable. If the cursor is left on them and/or they have been selected before the screensaver starts, I will get an error as they aren’t actually installed. These screensavers are also selectable by the “Random ScreenSaver” option/mode available from the drop-down menu under Preferences à Screensaver as some of the screensavers that no longer exist (or never did in some cases) in my install get selected by the system. I have to manually uncheck the boxes.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can tell me how to remove the listing of xscreensavers from the Preferences à Screensaver.
