In KDE you just set the desktop configuration to "allow applications desktop 
window", and run your screensaver with the --root option.

In Gnome, I think all you have to do is run the screensaver with the --root 
option (but I've not been running the latest version of Gnome to know for 
sure- with earlier versions this was true).

I don't think I've ever tried it in Enlightenment, but it would stand to 
reason that if the WM allows eterm to run in the root window, it would allow 
a screensaver.

In Blackbox, FVWM, and OpenLook, all you have to do is run the screensaver 
with the --root option as well.

I'm running the KDE version of the matrix on my desktop right now...
