Instead of wasting time looking for the problem, I would first just
'apt-get purge xscreensaver' making sure all configure files are gone,
then reinstall, reconfigure.

Or do what I did: dispense with a screensaver entirely.  Haven't used
one in years.  Waste of CPU cycles.  Besides modern computer screens
don't even need them anymore.  They aren't prone to image burning
like tube-type monitors were.  I just use xset or a power management
utility, if installed, to "sleep" the monitor display after a set time
of system idleness. Works great.
