As far as I can tell, there would be several solutions to this problem.

1. Ask the EPEL maintainers to keep the application up-to-date.

2. Patch the darn thing so I don't get the annoying popup.

3. Maintain my own up-to-date version of XScreenSaver in my private repo.

Any thoughts about this?

I just got the following response from Jamie Zawinski, the XScreenSaver developer:

"Yes, your distro sucks, and I wish they would stop redistributing my software if they refuse to keep it up to date."

He apparently had the same reaction with the Debian guys.
