xscreensaver and KDE

[Paul M Foster <paulf@quillandmouse.com>]

I've noticed that in KDE, in the Control Center, you can select
screensavers to run. Actually, either just one, or all of them randomly.
However, I have an ~/.xscreensaver file where all my preferences are
already picked out just the way I like them. It seems that KDE ignores
this file in favor of its own setup somewhere else.

This would be fine, except that when you run KDM, it appears to bypass
the whole ~/.xinitrc setup, which is where I call xscreensaver as the
first program to execute.

So the question is: how can I get KDE automatically start up
xscreensaver on startup (when running KDM)?
