You don't need to uninstall the screen saver hack. On firmware 3.0.x, this hack is just another 'backdoor' for installing hacks. You can have both the jailbreak and the Updates Provider hack installed or just one of them and you'll be still able to install hacks.
But on 3.1, the jailbreak 'backdoor' is not working anymore and having this hack installed is the only way (besides usbNetwork) to install hacks then.

Install this hack, switch the updates provider to 'amazon', reboot, install 3.1 update, change the updates provider to 'hack', reboot your Kindle and you should be able to install/uninstall hacks.
