Summary:                    xscreensaver startup line in xinitrc not ok
Description: 
The line to start xscreensaver in the xinitrc script (test $UID -gt 0 -a -z
$VNCSESSION && xscreensaver -no-splash &) doesn't work that way. test
returns "bash: test: argument expected" and fails. I recommend something
like

if [ ${UID} -gt 0 ] && [ "x${VNCSESSION}" = "x" ] ; then
   xscreensaver -no-splash &
fi

or similar, bash has many ways to do this ;-)

Regards,  Nick.

my version of  xinitrc  (4.0.5) has the line:

  test $UID -gt 0 && xscreensaver -no-splash &

and works correctly.  try it out.
