If you are running KDE then www.kde-look.org is the place for themes/wallpaper

You will also find mandrake RPMS for several nice icon sets/themes/wallpapers 
at Texstars download site
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/rpms

In particular look out for
crystal-icons -really nice icon set from Connectiva - will be default for 
KDE3.1
freecurve-artwork - The BlueCurve theme RedHat fans like.
Geramik - A really popular theme
kde3-kspashml - Animated log on spash
keramik - I think that is geramik for KDE
mosfets-liquid - my favourite KDE theme
wallpaper - A collection of nice wallpapers
xmas-wallpaper - A bit out of season

Themes, icon sets, and wallpapers are all selected in KDE Control Centre Some 
themes like mosfet have to be configured in several different places.

As for screensavers. The default KDE screensavers are not especially good. But 
if you do not use kde, or take the trouble to disable the KDE screensaver you 
can use xscreensaver and xscreensaver-gl  which are RPMs on your Mandrake CDs

xscreensaver-demo in a terminal will show you the screensavers available, and 
the command  xscreensaver -nosplash & when you start your session will enable 
the screensavers. There are also some really nice new OpenGL screensavers for 
xscreensaver available here
