I don't know about activating it manually -- I believe there's a way, but I haven't used it. Someone else will have to answer that part. I just did "yum remove gnome-screensaver" -- which took with it some of the other things above. I don't expect to miss them; in fact, I was surprised I hadn't done it before on this machine. If you do the same, you may also wish to go to Main Menu > System > Preferences; highlight and right click on Screensaver; tell it to put it on your panel. That will make further tweaks more convenient. To check, right-click the icon, and choose Properties. The command box should now say "xscreensaver-demo" Close the Properties box, and left-click the icon. It should open a Preferences box, with the Display Modes tab displayed. In the bottom left corner is a check-box saying "Lock Screen After." Checking it will let you enter a number of minutes -- and it will require your user password to get back to the display every time. That is what I think you want. If you don't want to require the password, make sure the check- box is empty. Then the screensaver should stop and revert to your desktop whenever you touch the mouse or a key. There are lots more choices and controls. From this point, you should be safe to play with them till you find a preference -- or just leave them as they are.
