Viewing what?  I have a .xscreensavers in my home dir, and I can
use/test screensavers all I want....

Wait, your .xscreensavers file was from an old install, and you didn't
clean out the home directory?  -ENOTSUPPORTED

I don't think the problem DOES exist on clean installs.  (By clean, I
mean new file systems and the whole works)

It does clear the list only.  I downloaded 5 or 6 files, looked in my
defined download directory to make sure they were there, hit the 'clean
up' button, and those files were still there....  It didn't delete them.
It did however clean up the list.  Make sure that the files are actually
being downloaded to where you think they are.  Check in ~/Desktop/ and
~/
