I don't have any ideas, but just another data point - I too am
witnessing this on my FC system with TwinView.  The machine used to be
running RedHat 9 with the very same version of nVidia's drivers and
under it there was only one single screensaver which crossed both
screens.

Perhaps between RH9/RHEL-WS and FC1 a new version of Xscreensaver was
released which suddenly became "smart" about Xinerama?

I'd be curious as well if anyone has a solution to this.
