BTW - I opened up a program called xscreensaver-demo. I had to do #xhost +localhost to get it started and I kept getting errors, although I could preview them. In this case, there were checkboxes next to all the different savers.
There are two screensaver schemes on Red Hat: the gnome one and the kde one.
The gnome screensaver scheme uses xscreensaver and that, in turn, invokes programs in /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver. xscreensaver-demo is basically a different way of invoking those programs. Check the manual for more details.
The kde screensaver scheme uses something else and invokes the /usr/bin/*.kss programs. Fiddling with xscreensaver-demo won't change the behviour of the KDE screensavers.
The only possible unification in all of this is the /usr/bin/xscreensaver.kss, but I need to work out how that can be invoked from the KDE screensavers because it isn't by default. And it might not even be there on RH9 -- I'm actually running RHEL3 here.
