    kde and xscreensaver

    How do I start xscreensaver automatically when kde starts? I'm not used to using kdm. I would ordinarily add xscreensaver to the .xinitrc file. But that doesn't work when using kdm.

    Never mind. I figured it out. All I had to do was add a soft link to xscreensaver to the ~/.kde/Autostart directory.

      How exactly does one do that? I mean add the "soft link".

      Thanks!

        In a konsole; type
        Code:
        ln -s XSCREENSAVER-PROG ~.kde/Autostart/
        The ALL CAPS are because I can't find the the xscreensaver executable. By the way, the command is ell-en not bigeye-en.
