This file is actually not the real fortune.. it is/was  a very simple
standin script. The real fortune-mod package has been gone for a long
long while. I think it was removed between rhl9 and fc1.  The standin
script that was used before in fc2 and fc3 is very simple. Either the
standin script should be added back or wanda should be updated to
default to a new default command.  There's no comment in the
xscreensaver package changelog snippets to suggest why this was
removed.
/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/fortune   from fc3
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -d /usr/games/fortune -a -x /usr/games/fortune ]; then
        /usr/games/fortune $*
elif [ -x /usr/bin/fortune ]; then
        /usr/bin/fortune $*
else
        cat /etc/redhat-release
        uname -sr
        uptime
fi
