what file do I change?
locate xinitrc
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc-common
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/00-start-message-bus.sh
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-xinput.sh
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/localuser.sh
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/xdg-user-dirs.sh
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc already contains:
# Launch xscreensaver (if available), but only as non-root user
if test $UID -gt 0 -a -z "$VNCSESSION"; then
if test x"`which xscreensaver 2>/dev/null`" != x""; then
xscreensaver -no-splash &
elif test x"`which gnome-screensaver 2>/dev/null`" != x""; then
gnome-screensaver &
fi
fi
I use kde on Fedora 14
I respect "X" windowing and video drivers as a deep career

Generally the screensaver settings in KDE are under, System Settings -> Desktop -> screensaver.
But if you wish to use xscreensaver instead you can append the screen you listed on the end of the /etc/X1/xinit/xinitrd.kde file, which will force it to start when any user logs into kde.0 -

sorry
nothing about screensaver there

[root@localhost xinit]# pwd
/etc/X11/xinit

I've had problems w/Xscreensaver not loading automatically in the past and had to put "xscreensaver &" in one of these files:
~/.xsession (if using gdm/kdm/graphical login)
~/.xinitrc (if using startx from command line to start desktop GUI)
you can also use gconf-editor (GUI) or gconftool-2 (command line) to do it ...
