The command to start just the daemon from a Konsole or script is:

	xscreensaver -no-splash &

I presume that from an autostart 'desktop' file that you might not need the "&"

OTOH, the command in the 'desktop' file for the menu is:

	xscreensaver-demo

which brings up the control dialog.

, only haves to configure 'Blank After' and 'Cycle after'.

NOTE: if you want Display Power Management, it is on the "Advanced" tab.
