I also have a t-520, running XFCE, and I have "Disable screensavers"
checked.

I see the screensavers disabled on my T-520 and on other machines here.
This is while playing an ISO image from a DVD. I don't run KDE here, so
I can't test it.

XFCE also has a manual way to turn off the screensaver. In the power
manager plugin settings, enable the "Presentation mode" indicator. Then
use it to turn presentation mode (no screen blanking or screen saver)
on. Perhaps KDE has something similar?

Does anybody read signatures any more?
