I think it only has to have "Background" enabled and can be
either full screen or windowed.  If it's running in the background
it will jump to the foreground when it kicks in.  I've come down
and found both the OS/2 "lock" icon and the Windows screensaver
displayed simultaneously on my machine after my son's been using
it.  Just don't use a password with the Windows screensaver if you
have the OS/2 "Lockup" feature enabled.  Both Windows and OS/2
will be trying to find a password when you try to wake it up and
the results can be confusing.
