Yes, I guess I am, "rpm -qa | grep saver" gives me
xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.2
and I use KDE as desktop manager (with nvidia binary driver).
In KDE Control Center, I see the setup is to start a random screensaver
automatically after 5mn, which works for me (checkbox for notifying screen of
energy-saving is unchecked).
I also have the "dpms" option in my monitor section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf,
and "xdpyinfo | grep -i saver" gives me MIT-SCREEN-SAVER.

I don't know the cause of your problem, but perhaps you could look
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log if there's any insteresting related error message.
Also you could tell us which driver you're using for your gfx card (DRI
or ATI fglrx binary driver).
Now, after writing all this, I just launched "xscreensaver" on the
command-line, and by choosing "Settings", I can see the default setting is to
have "Blank screen only".
Perhaps there's some priority wrong between your KDE and xscreensaver
installs ?

(that is, searching "screensaver" in RedHat's bugzilla), it seems there are
some known issues, in particular
