As far as I can tell, there would be several solutions to this problem.
Ask the EPEL maintainers to keep the application up-to-date.
Patch the darn thing so I don't get the annoying popup.
Maintain my own up-to-date version of XScreenSaver in my private repo.
I think you can use the --no-splash switch.

There's probably also a config setting in .xscreensaver.
But it was probably worth seeking a patch just to get that classic response. ;-)
