I think System -> Tweak Tool -> Power or something like that is where

As for gnome-screensaver package, if you are sure it is not in base
repo, look in EPEL and last stop is Fedora 19 repository, so far most
missing pakcages in CentOS 7 can be installed from Fedora 19 repository:

[fedora]
name=Fedora 19 – $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Everything/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-19&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
priority=10
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-19-$basearch

[fedora-updates]
