screensaver question

Hello,
I am new to this forum and using KDE but I am learning.
My question is under the screensaver section of properties in advanced options I see a list that says auto lock and has check boxes for the corners.
I was wondering if this means that you can make the screensaver not activate by putting the mouse in the corner?
If this is not what this is for is there a program that I can do this with. I would like to make my screensaver not activate while writing disks or other things.
Thank you in advance
John
