Mm, yes, I found xscreensaver-demo a few days ago.  However....

I'm not using the xscreensaver daemon. KDE is handling inactivity and launching the screensaver.

I can move binaries out of /usr/lib/xscreensaver, but while that does effectively block one, it doesn't prevent KDE from looking for it.. I'm guessing there must be a configuration file (something like .xscreensavers) somewhere that has a list I can fiddle with.

Thanks though!

New question: How can I disable certain screen savers when using the "Random" option?


From http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#edit-hacks:

" Run the xscreensaver-demo program. On the left is a list of all of the demos. 
Each has a checkbox next to it. Un-check the ones you don't like. Only the ones that 
are checked will be automatically run by the xscreensaver daemon (though you can 
still run the others explicitly by double-clicking on them in the xscreensaver-demo 
window.)

After you've run xscreensaver-demo once, you will have a .xscreensaver file in your 
home directory. You can also just edit that file directly: disable the ones you 
don't like by putting a minus (-) at the beginning of the line. The xscreensaver 
daemon will notice when the file has changed and reload it automatically."

I believe that's what you're looking for, though I haven't tested it myself.
best,
