Install xscreensaver (in a terminal, cd to the directory containing the rpm and type (without the quotes) "rpm -Uvh xscreensaver*"); As a user, type (without the quotes) the following in a terminal "xscreensaver-demo" This will bring up the xsreensaver configuration tool where you can set up when and how the xcreensaver will come on. You'll also need to disable the default kde screensaver in the kde control center. Finally, add the following line (without the quotes) to your home .baschrc file: "xscreensaver &" Xscreensaver should now be activated and ready to run everytime you log in as user. Hope this helps.
