I just rebuilt xscreensaver on jessie with a slight change in  
debian/screensavers-desktop.stub:

--- screensavers-desktop.stub.old	2014-10-26 15:23:44.826806788 +0100
+++ screensavers-desktop.stub	2014-10-26 15:24:39.322497990 +0100
@@ -2,4 +2,4 @@
  Terminal=false
  Type=Application
  Categories=Screensaver;
-OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
+OnlyShowIn=GNOME;MATE;

This change results in all xscreensaver screensavers becoming usable  
via mate-screensaver.

I will appreciate it if you could get this change into Debian jessie.

Thanks+Greets,
Mike (from the Debian MATE packaging team)
