I had this problem back in v3.2, when I finally got kde's screen saver working, not much was working for it... I "ditched" the kde version, and went with the XScreensaver packages -=- it has TONS of screen savers for it, which, when you get the "server deamon" running, and fire up the "config app", will show almost ALL the screensavers you can have, even if you dont have them loaded, apt-get installed ( they will show up "greyed out". )

Lots of them required OpenGL, and "accelerated" video card and drivers to run, but, some of them are QUITE interesting -=- after installing the deamon and config apps, you will want to view the man pages for both, it shows how to get your screen savers running, in a Login screen, and in the "user" logged in, sessions... AS a SIDE NOTE: I made sure that in the "config" app, I only use ONE screensaver, and not the RANDOM, even though you can select the ones the RANDOM will use, it just seemed to be easier to setup and run with a single screen saver... Last side note, if you choose to use the XScreensaver over the KDE one, be sure you disable the KDE screensavers from running, it just adds confusion to what it running, i.e. two screensaver packages running at the same time, is not a good thing, one is sufficient

Hope this helps
