Wierd screensaver

Hello SuSE KDE people. Several week ago I upgraded my KDE to 3.5.3 on my SuSE 10.0 desktop. Ever since then when the screensaver kicks in I get this weird white screensaver which keeps adding little black squiggly lines. Really ugly. I want to get rid of it. I go into Control Center > Appearance > Screen Saver and set my favorite, test it, and apply it. For the rest of that session my chosen screen saver will come up. When I shut down for the night I save my session. Next time I boot up I get the same weird screen saver back again. Very frustrating and aggravating. Can someone tell me where to go and what config file to change to stop this behavior? Bob S.
