Oneiric's gnome-screensaver doesn't contain actual animated screensavers
anymore, so you can't be experiencing this issue on Oneiric.
I am closing this bug again.
If this is happening with something another package than gome-
screensaver, please file a new bug. Thanks.

Title:
GLSlideshow Consistantly Freezes
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
This happening in both Feisty and the Gutsy Release Candidate.
GLSlideshow will start normally, move through a few pictures, and then
just freeze. I have used the debugging information found in the man
pages and have made a few notes of what I noticed:
1.) Using the "-wireframe" option, the behavior is the same. A few test
frames go by and then a freeze.
2.) Using the "-wireframe -fps" option, the behavior is the same.
3.) Using the "-fps -wireframe -debug" option, the behavior is the same.
4.) Using the "-fps -debug" option, the behavior is the same.
For the most part, it freezes with most combinations of those options.
This is with version 2.20.0 of gnome-screensaver. Here is my
glslideshow.desktop config file:

Comment=Loads a random sequence of images and smoothly scans and zooms around
in each, fading from pan to pan. To tell it where to find the images to
display, go to the "Advanced" tab on the Screensaver Preferences window. Select
"Choose Random Images", and enter your image directory in the text field right
below that. (Note: not the the "Advanced" button at the bottom of this window:
the tab at the top of the *other* window.) This program requires a good video
card capable of supporting large textures. Written by Jamie Zawinski and Mike
Oliphant.

While writing this bug report, I tried just about every different
option I could think of as well as different values for each (i.e.
-cutoff 0 -delay 0 -zoom 98) and it's still the same behavior every
time. If you need any more information, please let me know. I'm not
sure what to include in this report. I'm using a Sony Vaio VGN-FE550G
with the Intel 945GM chipset and integrated graphics. Kernel version:
2.6.22-14-generic. GLSlideshow is grabbing the pictures using the
specified directory (~/Pictures/2007/) within the .xscreensaver file
that I created.
Thanks for any help.
Here's a thread over at the ubuntu forums with two others, besides myself,
that are having the same problem:
