I once read a tip from Redhat:
"You can fix this by creating the following directories under
$HOME/.kde/share/applnk-redhat: System/ScreenSavers Then copy/link all 
files from /usr/share/apps/kscreensaver/ScreenSavers You may also have
to do the same for the files above the ScreenSavers directory."
