I have the same problem and simply gave up on it. When I walk away from the computer, I manually switch off the monitor. I had thought that kplayer was the culprit, as it seemed to happen only after I played a video, but that only accounts for maybe 3/4 of the screensaver failures. To bring the screensaver back to life, I open kpowersave, change some arbitrary setting in the "screensaver & dpms" window, save the setting, then change them back to how I had them before. Then I open the desktop control center, got to appearance -> screensaver and do the same there. That sometimes helps, sometimes it doesn't. A very frustrating experience. -- Gruß Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
