How to activate/configure a screensaver in Wayland/GNOME

gnomescreensaverwaylandxscreensaver

I am using Fedora 25 with Wayland and GNOME. How can I configure a screensaver?

I assume xscreensaver does not work and I could install gnome-screensaver, but there is no configuration interface – or have I missed something there…?

Edit: To clarify, I am not looking for a simple black screen or a "fade out" effect, but for a "real" screensaver showing some animation or a slideshow of your photos/images or so…

So basically I could not find any real wayland-screensaver solution. There was some development and even a small demo of a Wayland screensaver (wscreensaver), but there is not a final program or maybe not even the inital implementation made it into Wayland.

In any case I did not expect that I can (of course) run X.org apps under Wayland using XWayland. Naturally this may not last long into the future, but currently it works. I can run xscreensaver as it is expected.
