Screensaver Timeout Suggestion - Comments ?
I've been thinking about making a possibly "controversial" feature request for the KDE screensaver facility, but before I go about that I want to know whether it would be liked by many other folks ... or hated ... I'm sorry to admit it here, but I kind of like the Windows [gulp] NT feature where, when the screensaver timeout is reached and the screensaver leaps into life, you get about 10 seconds to hit a key (or move the mouse) to cancel the screensaver again *without* having to enter the password - if you miss that 10-second window then the password becomes required. For me, this allows for the many occasions when I'm sitting staring at the screen musing on some code for longer than my timeout period (I tend to set that to ~ 8 minutes) without touching a key .. Okay, okay ... maybe nobody else ever does that :) What does anybody else on this list think ? Is this suggestion worth making ? (It's just a convenience feature.) If so, do I do that by submitting a KDE bug report with severity level = "wishlist" ? Cheers, Nick Boyce Bristol, UK -- Gates' Law: Every 18 months, the speed of software halves.

This is helpfull! Thank You. A follow-up question that still haunts me
is:
How can I make konsole always open a 'login shell' {xterm -ls}?

First I have to say that I love your kio_fish pagackage. I was wondering whether it is possible to combine it with other protocols that use ssh such as rsync.

For several reasons.. this is a school lab, and many of the kids wont know about it (and I dont want to tell them, as they might abuse it) and it allows the workstations to get freed up automaticly, without knowing how long the user was gone.

I believe that 'xlock' can be set up with a mode that allows someone to log the current user out with a single click after a certain time. It's not automatic, but it will get the job done. - -- [!] Justin R.

AutoLogout Screen Saver
Is there a screen saver or something that will automaticly log a user out if left idle for too long? This is for a lab environment, so after 5 min of inactivity the screen saver should come up (password protected) and after 30 min the user should be logged out to free the terminal up. Jay
location of kde:s configuration
Hello! I installed Debian on one of my hard disks and I found it be great, though the process of installation was difficult compared with SuSE, which I use now (debian should really have something like sax2 for configuring X) Anyway, I am moving old my home directory to the new installation, and I was pretty much under the impression that moving my KDE settings from SuSE's KDE 2.2.2 to the Debian's KDE 2.2.2 could be done by simply copying the .kde-directory from one place to another. Unfortunately, the KDE on Debian did not accept the old settings and just wrote over the old ones. But, it seems, that if you afterwards move single files, like the bookmark.xml, they get accepted by the reciving KDE. So my question is, where what are the single files I should move in order to get my old settings to the new place? The settings I would like to move are about the menus in my panel, kmail, korganiser, bookmarks in the filebrowser-side of konqueror and a few more. I know that most of it reside under the kde/share/apps-directory, but there seem to be also a lot of unnecessary stuff. Is there some general rule, like settings are stored only in xml-files..? Why can't I find a decent explanation of KDE's directory/file-structure on the net? -Otto PS. For some strange reason, the konqueror in Debian's KDE seems to be significantly faster than the same version on konq. running on the same computer but under SuSE 7.3. I don't think the difference in the speed of my harddrives explains that. Congratulations for good trimming!

Problems with kdm
Hi, I have some problems with kdm. First of all, it doesn't let me start other windowmanagers than kde. This used to work, but now it doesn't. The appropriate lines in /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc look like: , | [X-*-Greeter] | [...] | SessionTypes=default,twm,sawfish,startxfce,wmaker,fvwm2,xfce,gnome-session,kde2,failsafe, | [...] ` And yes, I do have these windowmanagers installed ;-) The other problem I run in is that I want to set some environment variables (like LANG). I do this in .Xclients, which used to work, but now it doesn't. .Xclients *is* executed (I write something to a file), but the variables aren't set (nor overwritten, as OLLI remains unset). This is my .Xclients: ,[ .Xclients ] | export EDITOR=emacs | export LANG=de_DE | export OLLI=da | touch /home/olli/ausgefuehrt | echo "nun denn" >> /home/olli/ausgefuehrt ` TIA, olli -- http://www.sopos.net | der linke Informationsdienst für subversive Politik in Theorie und Praxis http://www.sopos.org | das Online-Magazin der Sozialistischen Positionen
