Ok, you're not going to believe how easy this actually is.

1) Go into the KDE configuration panel, and shut off the default
screensaver
2) Run "xscreensaver-demo" to select the screensaver(s) that you want to
use. It will present a list of them. It will also create a
~/.xscreensaver file with your settings.
3) "cd ~/.kde/Autostart
4) ln -s /usr/bin/X11/xscreenaver ." (to like xcscreensaver into the
autostart directory).
5) Restart KDE.

When KDE starts, the xscreensaver splash panel will appear for 5
seconds. You can either turn this off, or shorten the duration by
editing the .xscreensaver file in your home directory. I have mine set
to come up, but at a very short duration, just so I know it started.

That's it! Just disable the KDE screensaver. And link xscreensaver into
the KDE Autostart directory (under your home dir). And you're there. You
can optionally configure xscreensaver to include/exclude your favorite
xscreensavers (for example, turning off all but xflame)

Personally, I like xscreensaver far better than the default KDE unit. ;)

Have fun!
