It seems to be a conflict to installed files of the nVidia driver.  

I had installed the current version NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.05 and after a 
sanity test it reports:

| WARNING: Your driver installation has been altered since it was initially
|          installed; 
| ERROR: File '/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so' is not a symbolic
|        link.

After re-installing the nVidia driver I got the GL screensavers back.

Examined in a next step the 
folder '/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so' before and after the 
driver installation.

Before:
~~~~~~
| -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  429042 21. Jun 23:48 libglx.so
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1269664 16. Jun 11:23 libglx.so.173.14.05

After:
~~~~~
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      19 25. Jun 08:50 libglx.so ->
| libglx.so.173.14.05 
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1269664 25. Jun 08:50 libglx.so.173.14.05

So it seems that the installation of the latest xserver-xorg-core has 
overwritten the link with a same named file, the previous link is brooken now 
to the nVidia driver and the GL screensavers (and maybe other GL-related 
things too) are no longer working.
