Actually, those instructions look more like a hack to me than using KDE's screensavers. Why would I want to disable KDE functionality, which is fully integrated into the KDE desktop and use a 3rd party application which doesn't integrate? But, a quick google search found the solution to Brian's problem. Search for the 2nd (or was it 3rd?) occurance of the word "random" on http://www.ep.ph.bham.ac.uk/general/support/linux9custom.html and you'll see that you just need to find the directory with the KDE screensavers (on my Kubuntu system it seems to be /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers) and rename any of the files to not have a .desktop extension. This will disable the screensaver and it will not be selected by the random screensaver mode.
