" Run the xscreensaver-demo program. On the left is a list of all of the demos. Each has a checkbox next to it. Un-check the ones you don't like. Only the ones that are checked will be automatically run by the xscreensaver daemon (though you can still run the others explicitly by double-clicking on them in the xscreensaver-demo window.)

After you've run xscreensaver-demo once, you will have a .xscreensaver file in your home directory. You can also just edit that file directly: disable the ones you don't like by putting a minus (-) at the beginning of the line. The xscreensaver daemon will notice when the file has changed and reload it automatically."

I believe that's what you're looking for, though I haven't tested it myself. 

best,
