This is the one I use. The ones above it give you more choices.

This is the one I don't -- purely as a personal preference.

I do use K3B and Konqueror -- so I certainly have some of KDE,
but take care to have as little as possible to do with any of the rest of
it, again as a personal preference.

I don't know about activating it manually -- I believe there's a
way, but I haven't used it. Someone else will have to answer that part.
I just did "yum remove gnome-screensaver" -- which took with it
some of the other things above. I don't expect to miss them; in fact, I
was surprised I hadn't done it before on this machine.
If you do the same, you may also wish to go to Main Menu > System
> Preferences; highlight and right click on Screensaver; tell it to put
it on your panel. That will make further tweaks more convenient.
To check, right-click the icon, and choose Properties. The
command box should now say "xscreensaver-demo"
Close the Properties box, and left-click the icon. It should open
a Preferences box, with the Display Modes tab displayed.
In the bottom left corner is a check-box saying "Lock Screen
After." Checking it will let you enter a number of minutes -- and it will
require your user password to get back to the display every time. That is
what I think you want.
If you don't want to require the password, make sure the check-
box is empty. Then the screensaver should stop and revert to your desktop
whenever you touch the mouse or a key.
There are lots more choices and controls. From this point, you
should be safe to play with them till you find a preference -- or just
leave them as they are.
Enjoy!
