In the meantime, I found out that only "~/.kde/Autostart"
is recommended, and only then if I put a sleep command before
the xset command. The reason is that after the KDE session
finished loading, it always sets "prefer blanking" to "yes"
(can be found out with "xset q").

So, I have a file "~/.kde/Autostart/disable_screensaver.sh"
for each KDE user with permission 755 and the following content:

sleep 60
xset s noblank

The number after sleep can be 10 or 60 or so and it assures
that the KDE session finishes loading before the xset command
comes into action.
