I managed to solve that by providing the Screen saver with a setup file.
Copy the following data to a file named
$HOME/.kde/share/config/kslideshow.kssrc
------------<Cut Here>----------------
[KFileDialog Settings]
Preview Size=60
Recent Files=/usr/share/backgrounds/images/
ShowPreviews=false
ViewMode=SmallColumns
[KFileDialog Speedbar]
Speedbar IconSize=32
[Settings]
Delay=60
Directory=$HOME/
PrintName=false
RandomPosition=false
ShowRandom=true
SubDirectory=true
ZoomImages=false
------------<Cut Here>----------------
You might have to restart KDE (log out - log in) to get the Config Dialog working.
I don't think that a lock-up should be the "standard behavior" of any program that can't find it's config file.
so long,

If it's a good idea go ahead and do it.
It's much easier to apologize than it is to get permission.
