I have a similar problem. Running a quad-head with two nvidia cards using 
xinerama.
ti...@timmy-desktop:~$ gnome-screensaver --version
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
gnome-screensaver 2.24.0

The screensaver works normally but sometimes it will crash and blank my
main display black and I can't use it after that. The windows are still
there but there is a black box over everything I suppose.

I found a work around for my case: run nvidia-settings

It refreshed the main screen and I could see it again without having to
restart X.
