At the command prompt, Linux isn't really shutting down the monitor, it's
blacking the screen out. To get the same effect, KDE has a screen saver that
you'd have to activate. Check under "K^", "Applnk", "Desktop", "Settings",
"Screen Saver"

Question: Running KDE on SuSE 5.2 my xinitrc points to twm, which has
no reference to $WINDOWMANAGER or kdm. But in my home directory there is
..xinitrc, which ends with:
#
# finaly start the window manager
#
exec $WINDOWMANAGER
So I assume this would be the correct file to add the xset to?
The box is configured for root plus 2 users, so would the xset need to
be added to the 2nd users .xinitrc in her home directory?
I haven't found a .xinitrc for root, so how would I get dpms to kick in
for root?

I did, but given my low level of Linux, it wasn't much help to me.

Sandy,
I would guess/hope that this setting would be global. For now I just ran the
xset command from a kvt prompt. Seems to work. (Thanks guys) I don't know
much about the guts of Linux or X myself. Perhaps some one more
knowledgeable will be able to explain this.
