I've downloaded an archive of a screen saver -- where does it belong?

I took time to read that page, and no Dale, it does not answer Peter's
question about how to extract the archive. So for Peter, make sure you
are in the directory that has the archive file, then command you
need to extract it is: 
tar -xvf 29207-aasaver-0.3.2.tar.bz2 

.. then follow the
directions on the page that Dale linked to.
Peter, you will find that you use the tar command quite a bit if you are
extracting archives (at the command line), so it is a good idea to make
a note of it somewhere. I use Tomboy for keeping notes of handy shell
commands, not sure what the KDE equivalent is.

Cheers
Mark
