You are luckier than I am - I have not had any screensavers available
in KDE4 including after the update!

How did you get to the screensaver control?
I went to kickoff->system settings->desktop-screen saver and no screen savers
appear to be available apart from the blank screen. I do have xscreensaver
installed. Did you do anything special to get a screensaver to become
available ?
