KDE 3.1.3 problems: DPMS, Lock/Logout Applet, and kstart
Hi, I recently updated to kde3.1.3 on a SuSE 8.2 Professional AMD Athlon machine with all YOU updates applied. I run a "blank screen" screensaver that used to turn on after 30 minutes of idle time (this is still set in "Control Center->Appearance & Themes-> Screen Saver"). I had DPMS disabled in sax2 for my NEC 5FG (really a NEC 6FG). After about five minutes of idle time, the monitor goes "off" and the "Lock/Logout" applet doesn't always lock the desktop. I have experimented with "Control Center->Power Management->Display Power Control" by enabling DPMS and setting "Standby after", "Suspend after", and "Power Off After" all to "Disabled". I have toggle on and off DPMS via sax2 for the monitor (restarting the X server). Bottom line is nothing appears to get me back to the old 30 minutes and blank. This is a problem because my NEC 6FG does not like being turn off. It is old and comes back with distorted characters for five or ten minutes. Next problem, kstart doesn't do the right thing with mozilla 1.4. I have eight desktops and an Autostart file that does: /opt/kde3/bin/kstart -desktop 8 -activate "/usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla -geometry 1103x904+0+0" And it always brings up mozilla on desktop 1. Any help would be appreciated.

This works for kde apps only, I think. Does it work for a kde app? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

It is used for KDE and non-KDE applications or so I understand. It works for me with xearth (non-KDE) and with kworldclock (a KDE-APP) In the Helpcenter do to Applications-?Kde->Frequently Asked Question->Desktop and I quote: "6.6. How do I launch applications in a particular desktop? KDE comes with a program called kstart. To start Mozilla on the second desktop and then activate it use: kstart "netscape" -desktop 2 -activate. Please read kstart --help-all for more magic available with kstart (and there is an abundance)." I took the "netscape" example as a bug in the FAQ. In either case, I have tried the command to execute in that position, that is: /opt/kde3/bin/kstart "/usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla -geometry 1103x904+0+0" -desktop 8 -activate Regards, Bob Pearson -- I am unique and special, just like everyone else.
