right click your desktop (in KDE 3.1)
clicl on the Screen Saver Icon (all the way at the bottom of the list on
the left, I think)

Choose the screen saver you want from the list

check off the "Start screen saver automatically"
and the "Require Password" boxes on the right side
Select a time delay for the screen saver

Click "Apply" and "OK"

You can also lock the desktop by right clicking the Desktop and selecting
"lock desktop" (It's the last item on the pop up menu, I think)
