Yes. If you do

cd /usr/local/bin

chmod 4555 *.kss
chmod 4555 kcheckpass

You will just unlock the screen by entering the password.

Maybe you should first make a note of the perms on *.kss just in case you
want to revert back.

The CD player also asks me to vrf that I have access to /dev/rmatcd0 or
whatever...


Try the above and lemme know if it has any effect on the screen savers.

Thanks for the response.
