How can I set my system up to start a screen saver after (say) 20
minutes, but never lock the screen.

On the bottom left of the Display Modes tab of Xscreensaver
Preferences, there's a check box labeled Lock Screen After. If it's
checked,uncheck it. If you're not using Xscreensaver, you should
have said so.
I am running the standard screen-lock/screen-saver function that
comes
with KDE. Maybe it would be better to install xscreensaver, however the
KDE standard controls are integrated with the rest of the KDE system,
which seems to argue for keeping things as they are.

My guess would be to look at the screen locking preferences, rather
than the screensaver choices. Related, but separate actions.
The only controls that I can find which KDE provides for screen locking
or saving are in:
Start->System Settings->Workspace Behavior->Screen Lockingan image of which is
attached. There seems to be nothing for screen
saving as such. I had thought that doing this would be extremely easy,
but it seems not to be so.
