Years ago I was using xscreensaver with --no-splash and had no problem
with it. But, I must admit that I gave up with xscreensaver just
because I was using the blank screen feature + power management
settings, and the screensaver service provided by GNOME is just
equivalent and more simple to get (anything but a blank screen is NOT a
screen or energy *saver*, it's an entertainment). I presume KDE has its
own too, so, with regards to the feature, we really don't need
xscreensaver and the whole discussion here and without the author is a
loss of time. Even to the OP of this thread, I'd not recommend using
xscreensaver for school computers administration, he's losing time and
energy.


Regards,
