If you don't want to use KDE's wrapper around xscreensaver, then check the
man page of xscreensaver. It has a section on using KDE. Paraphrasing,
you have to:
1) switch off KDE's screensaver
2) find your Autostart directory
3) place an xscreensaver.desktop file in the Autostart directory
4) make the various desktop lock buttons call xscreensaver.
Complete instructions are in the man page, including the .desktop file
contents. It's quite detailed and easy to follow.
Hope that helps,
