emerge xscreensaver
See if there's one that suits your needs. If not, adding something
like that is fairly trivial in linux: you just need to edit
.xscreensaver and include a image display program. For example, if you
install the image display program qiv, here's what it says in its man
page:
XSCREENSAVER SUPPORT
To use qiv with xscreensaver, either type "make install-xscreensaver"
or add the following to your ~/.Xresources:
xscreensaver.programs: \
/usr/bin/qiv -srfid 5 your_pix/\* \n\
/usr/bin/qiv -srfid 5 your_other_pix/\* \n\

This is true scholarship, done for it's own sake and not for

It is an honor to be associated with such nobility of soul.
