Thing is I shouldn't have to resort to that. My desktop should be there when I come back. That's what I'm working for not a work around to this feature or bug.
To clarify: This (screen blanking) happens only with KDE / Plasma as DE, not in FVWM / IceWM / XFCE / LXDE ? Just for completeness, have you tested with GNOME?
(This is to exclude underlaying (X11 / Wayland) troubles, and to ensure that this behavior is limited to KDE)
Another info, please: Which openSUSE, with what KDE / Plasma version does this happen on? OSS 13.1 with default updates, or are there extra repos involved?
As I stated this is current Tumbleweed. So it's whatever KDE Plasma version is current in Tumbleweed. flamebait@linux-rraz:~> kde4-config -v Qt: 4.8.7 KDE Development Platform: 4.14.10 kde4-config: 1.0 I have not tried any other desktops because I don't use them.
