Hello Paul, I've dug a little into the KDE screen saver and it seems that he works quite different from the way it works on windows.
Windows Invokes the .scr file with different params to either show or configure the screen saver, hower KDE uses a QtWidget called KScreenSaver which either shows the screen saver or the config dialog wether if it is being created with an windowId passed to the constructor or not. (See kscreensaver.h in the KDE-include dir) So it should get a little more tricky than on windows if you try to integrate your screensaver to the existing ones. Howerver the KDE manual says the following: = Using a non-KDE screen saver = KDE does not prevent another screen saver from working. To use a different screen saver, such as xscreensaver, simply disable the KDE Screen Saver, and set up your other screen saver program normally. So it should be possible to replace the KDE screensavers completely. That is what I found out about it, but I can not promise it's correctness since my knowledge of KDE and Qt is very very limited.
