Having looked at the glsnake shapes and their textual descriptions, it
seems that the most offensive thing you have to worry about are the
shape descriptions, since the shapes themselves don't appear in any way
related to them :)

It probably is a good idea for Fedora and Red Hat to patch xscreensaver
to alter those descriptions (there's also "k's turd", "vagina"; you can
scan them all by running strings on the glsnake binary, those appear to
be only other questionable ones).
