Disabling iPhoto/System Preferences integration

Question

I've got a few users IDs on my systemn, and only one
of them has photos imported via iPhoto ... and even
then, I don't want the photos available as a screensaver.
My screensaver is set to 'random', which means that
every once in while I get a screensaver with the
text 'No pictures in this directory'.
I want to remove the iPhoto albums from the Desktop
and Screen Saver preferences panes -- either per
user, or system-wide. So far IU have been able to
remove everything but 'Library' using the iPhotos
preferences, and I can remove Library by deleting
~/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library [but it is re-created
each time iPhoto is run].
I've done a bit of searching around in the BOMs for
iPhoto, the iPhoto user and application dirs, and
the frameworks for ScreenSaver. Doing a grep for
'iPhotoLibrary' brings up a few binary files
which match, but not text files.
Is this path hard-coded into the Screensaver
applicstion, and if so, what the h3ll is wrong with
Apple's programmers? Is there any way short of
uninstalling iPhoto to remove the iPhoto albums
from the ScreenSaver prefs, or to make the random
screensaver disable them?
[Update: I did a chmod a-rx ~/Pictures/iPhoto\ Library
and that is a hack solution: I get an error message
running iPhoto, and have to Force-Quit iPhoto to
exit it. This is supposedly UNIX, we can do better!]
