I wouldn't. xscreensaver runs as a common user and does not have the 
capabilities needed to set the loginuid.

That should do it. The communication chain here is:

login->pam->kernel
kernel->auditd

You should get a kernel event when you do this as root:

echo 500 > /proc/self/loginuid
ausearch -ts today -m LOGIN

time->Tue Jan 16 11:11:43 2007
type=LOGIN msg=audit(1168963903.962:1310): login pid=19065 uid=0 old auid=500 
new auid=500

If that's not working, you have a kernel problem. If its working, I'd look at 
pam/login.
