Hum, I am not quite sure about in Gnome or KDE. Basically, you want to disable all other screensavers. One way to do it is to edit your .xscreensaver file about insert an minus sign "-" before each program listed. Another way is to add the following to your .Xresources: xscreensaver.mode: one xscreensaver.selected: 1 (I am not quite sure about the second one, it could be 0 instead of 1...) The first command makes xscreensaver run in one program mode, instead of random. The second command specifies the one program to run (c.f. man xscreensaver), the value should be, quote "the index in the _programs_ list". But since they recommend setting that value using the xscreensaver-demo program, the man page does not go into detail as to whether the index starts at 0 or 1.

He could tell that he hadn't met the creature before from the simple fact that he was able to sleep at nights." - Arthur discovering who had diverted him from going to a party.
