installing a screensaver in KDE

[Ze]

So isnt possible to put the xscreensaver running in the backgroung like kde, 
right?
Because i made a shortcut of the command xscreensaver in 
$HOME/.kde/Autostart/xscreensaver.desktop, like you said and now when i run 
kde allways appears the xscreensaver dialog window.
Another thing, i cant see where i can configure the idle time before the 
xscreensaver starts, only haves to configure 'Blank After' and 'Cycle after'.
Any help?
