first, you go to Finder>applications>utilities>terminal. once you have a terminal window open, go back to finder WITHOUT CLOSING THE WINDOW and open system preferences and set your screensaver to the one that you want on your desktop.

The Hack

this is what you need to type in the terminal box:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background
i suggest just copy and pasting it.
