KDE Screensavers not really there?

I installed the KDE package, and went to go configure the screensaver. I was impressed by the long list under the control center, but it appears that only a few of them are actually installed or working. Is this right? I can only get a couple of the GL screensavers to work...all the others just cause my KDE desktop to wait until I click somewhere - nothing ever initializes. Is there a package I'm missing? Or a configuration option somewhere?

I have the exact same problem.  Not sure what it is though.

I think they need the xscreensaver package to work.. can anyone confirm this?

After pacman -S xscreensaver now it's working. Thanks!
Some of the GL screensavers are SO beautiful!
