man xscreensaver:

CONFIGURATION

The easiest way to configure xscreensaver is to simply run the xscreen-
saver-demo(1) program, and change the settings through  the  GUI.   The
rest  of  this  manual page describes lower level ways of changing set-
tings.

I'll repeat that because it's important:

The easy way to configure xscreensaver is to run the  xscreensaver-
demo(1)  program.   You  shouldn't  need  to  know any of the stuff
described in this manual unless you  are  trying  to  do  something
tricky, like customize xscreensaver for site-wide use or something.
