This patch (included with xscreensaver-4.10-8.src.rpm from updates/enterprise/3desktop/) is apparently intended to omit uninstalled programs from the list in xscreensaver-demo -- but that's what the "ignoreUninstalledPrograms" preference does. You already set "ignoreUninstalledPrograms: True" in xscreensaver-4.06-rh.patch, so xscreensaver-4.10-skip-unavailable-hacks.patch is redundant. The only effect that the latter patch has is to make it impossible for users to set"ignoreUninstalledPrograms" to False, if that's what they prefer.
