Ctrl+Alt+F1 (F2,...) will take you to the console where anyone
can log on including root. If root logs on, they can kill the
screensaver. I know X has the 'Dont Zap' option but I am not sure
whether it applies in this case. A user has to be able to kill
the processes they start, so I think the only way to do what you
want is to not start X by using startx. You will have to start X
using one of gdm, xdm or kdm. Make sure that your XF86Config file
has all the 'Dont Zap/Kill' options set and this should work.
