I also get this error but only on i686. I don't get it on x86_64. I'll investigate further.

I think I figured out the problem.
Make sure you don't have any old XScreenSaver app-defaults files on your system. I had one on my i686 system: /etc/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver . Once I had removed it, the problem went away.

Do not remove /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver as it's the up-to-date one that comes with the xscreensaver package.

Let me know if that fixes the problem for you.

If I delete the old app-defaults file, it worked fine. Thanks.
