I tried it with xscreensaver. The version in RH7.1 is/was 3.29-3.i386.rpm and 
the one of RH7.3 is 3.33-4.i386.rpm. It upgraded flawlessly and seems to be 
stable. No hang no keyboard lock-up which I could induce in RH7.3 by clicking 
on Blank Screen Now in xscreensaver-demo or when the display at set time 
would change. 

If I recall correctly I tried to install the xsceensaver of RH7.1 in Rh7.3 
and it would lock-up as well, however, I am not so sure anymore if it did 
install at all. 

So the problem does not semm to be with the particular programs it must be 
most likely within the kernel of RH7.3.
