Actually, those instructions look more like a hack to me than using
KDE's screensavers.  Why would I want to disable KDE functionality, which
is fully integrated into the KDE desktop and use a 3rd party application 
which doesn't integrate?

But, a quick google search found the solution to Brian's problem.
Search for the 2nd (or was it 3rd?) occurance of the word "random" on
http://www.ep.ph.bham.ac.uk/general/support/linux9custom.html
and you'll see that you just need to find the directory with the KDE
screensavers (on my Kubuntu system it seems to be 
/usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers) and rename any of the
files to not have a .desktop extension.  This will disable the screensaver
and it will not be selected by the random screensaver mode.

Cheers,
Tanner
