I'm running F9. How do I turn off the screensaver (or extend the
timeout period) so I don't have to type my password every two minutes to
unlock the screen?
Thanks.

For Gnome Desktop go to System->Preferences->Look and Feel.

For the kde desktop click on the menu > Favorites > System Settings > The
Desktop icon > Screen Saver then under the screen saver settings you will
see a check box for start automatically and make sure that box is checked
under that will be a check box for use password and how long before you will
be asked for a password.

For KDE look in System Settings->Look and Feel->Desktop.

Thanks! How do I select the kde desktop?
I figured out how to select kde at login, but the kde4 desktop is even
less usuable than gnome. What I want is the ability to add application
icons for Konqueror and Xterm to the bottom system panel as in kde3.
That feature seems to be absent from both gnome and kde4 in F9.

It's certainly not absent in Gnome, it's just a right-click or
drag-and-drop away. Also, your initial query could have been solved
simply by reading through the menus, that's what they're there for.
It's not hard to find an item called "screensaver."

I tried to do that but nothing happened, In kde3 I was able to create an
application launcher for a specific application (eg xterm) on the
desktop and then drag that icon onto the system panel, from which the
application could be started with a single click. This does not work at
all for me so far with F9 gnome. How is the equivalent operation done in
gnome?

Right-click on an empty spot on your panel bar.
Select "Add to Panel"
Fill in the blanks in the window that appears. Click on the icon in the window
to select a new one if you want to change it.

screensaver is slightly buried.
KDE 4.1 menu->applications->system->system settings->left column screensaver
Under the menu icon lower left, right click on an item and select "save to
panel"
I'd still like to know how to make the screensaver stay on indefinitely!
There is some setting in xconfig or one of those files!
Years ago I knew how to do this.

Do you mean that you want it to run "forever" without terminating when on a
keypress or mouse movement?
If you tell xscreensaver to lock the screen it won't exit to the desktop until
you enter your password.
Or you can just run the demo that you want directly without going through
xscreensaver.
(As an aside, xmame with the right game in attract mode makes a lovely "demo"
on
a spare machine.)

Your efforts to adjust the KDE screen saver can be frustrated by dpms.
dpms is normally setup to blank your screen after 10 minutes. It will
look like the blank screen saver has come on. Dpms is controlled with
xset. "xset q" prints a longer report than this. Look for "DPMS"
about
two thirds of the way down:
[]$ xset q
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 1200 Suspend: 1800 Off: 2400
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
This will blank the screen in X in 10 minutes (1200 would be 20 minutes,
but in every case, my screns blanked in 10 minutes).
[]$ xset dpms 0 0 0
[]$ xset q
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
I set up a script as ~/.kde/Autostart/dpms000 including:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/sleep 5; /usr/bin/xset dpms 0 0 0
The sleep statement was necessary in Fedora and Slackware, but not in
Debian. I originally named the script dpms-off, but it would not work in
Debian. The xset man page shows other ways to turn off dpms, but they
would not work in my machines. Before doing this, the KDE screen saver
would work at all, unless I set it to come on in less than ten minutes.
If I set the screen saver to come at 5 minutes, it would come for 5
minutes, and then the screen went blank. I don't remember this problem
before fedora 6 or 7.
Incidentally, KDE can be setup with shutdown scripts, also.
~/.kde/shutdown/restoresound :
#!/bin/sh
cp /home/bob/sys.setup/sound/kmixctrlrc \
/home/bob/.kde/share/config/kmixctrlrc
restores my desired Kmix default sound levels when I logout, so there
won't be any rude surprises when I next start KDE.

That feature seems to be absent from both gnome and kde4 in F9.
In KDE4: right-click on the application in the "F" (Start) menu and
select "Add to Panel" (or "Add to Desktop" if you prefer).

If it's the same as F8, it's rather difficult.
If you search the archives for screensaver and my name,
you should be able to discover what I did.
