Well, here's a little tidbit I've found that may be of use to some people. As many KDE users may know, you can have a keyboard shortcut set to lock the screen. You can do the same with just starting the screensaver!
Create a new item in the KDE menu editor, name it whatever youwant, and have it to run this command: kdesktop_lock --dontlock
Set it to a keyboard shortcut, save the menu, and viola! You now have a keyboard shortcut to start your screensaver.
