I really don't like xscreensaver authentication window. I find it rather ugly but it is better than compiling tons and tons of gnome-screensaver dependencies. Yea, I have given up on that long time ago.
I suggest Salix Visual Experience Masters ( sort of Masters of Universe - He-man anyone? ) to create a theme for xscreensaver. I have read somewhere that the creator of xscreensaver doesn't like to have his logo removed but it would be nice to have a bonsai tree instead of the original xscreensaver logo. That way we could make f.bluedevil and us happier users.
Below is the theme I am using. It can be a starting point for Salix developers or any other user that wants to get rid of that ugly xscreensaver colors.
