I found the solution to the Molecule screensaver freeze problem!
1. go into the Terminal application (under Accessories)
2. enter:
gedit .gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver/%gconf.xml
3. in the box that pops up you'll see:
screensavers-molecule
4. change "molecule" to one of the working screensavers, such as:
screensavers-sonar
5. restart
The message from Xan 2007-12-03 up above suggests a way to remove molecule, but I haven't tried it.
Good luck!
