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.

After a lot of playing around and testing, I have found that the KDE
screen savers are at
/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/<filename>
And renaming them there will disable them. I've been changing the
<filename> to <1filename>. They still show up in the screen saver
listing, but trying to preview them just causes the window to blink.
Now I need to find out where to delete the names from the list in the
screensaver setup window.
Then I need to try to install some new ones and get them listed.
BTW - using Konqueror to browse the files, clicking on the file will
bring up a preview window of the screensaver. And you can have
several previews open at once. You can even preview the renamed
files, since you are just clicking the filename.
Well... Current problem is that when choosing random, if it can't find
the file, the screen just stays black. So, gotto look some more.
