How can I set my system up to start a screen saver after (say) 20 minutes, but never lock the screen.

On the bottom left of the Display Modes tab of Xscreensaver Preferences, there's a check box labeled Lock Screen After.  If it's checked,uncheck it.  If you're not  using Xscreensaver, you should have said so.
I am running the standard screen-lock/screen-saver function that comes with KDE. Maybe it would be better to install xscreensaver, however the KDE standard controls are integrated with the rest of the KDE system, which seems to argue for keeping things as they are.

My guess would be to look at the screen locking preferences, rather than the screensaver choices.  Related, but separate actions.

The only controls that I can find which KDE provides for screen locking or saving are in: 
Start->System Settings->Workspace Behavior->Screen Locking
an image of which is attached. There seems to be nothing for screen saving as such. I had thought that doing this would be extremely easy, but it seems not to be so.
