This weekend I did a clean install of 11.1 and updated to KDE 4.2.2 Factory. Things are working great except for one thing... for some reason the screensaver starts after a fixed time of about 6 minutes. I've tinkered with the screensaver settings, and it's definitely the screensaver kicking in - if I set it to a specific screensaver type, that selected screensaver is what comes on in 6 minutes of inactivity. When the screensaver is on, the desktop is password locked. In Configure Desktop > Desktop > Screensaver, the screensaver is set to OFF. Setting it to ON, and changing the delay start time has no impact on the 6 minute delay. After 6 minutes, the screensaver starts regardless of the value in the "After" field. In Configure Desktop > Display > Power Control, Enable display power management is set to OFF. This seems to be working correctly as the screen is not placed into standby mode. In Configure Desktop > Advanced > Power Management, Lock screen is set to OFF, PowerDevil is set to OFF. After updating from KDE 4.1 to KDE 4.2.2 Factory I removed the plasmarc config files and forced a rebuild of the desktop config on the off chance this might fix the screenblanking thing. This did not help. There was a discussion on the list here a while back about an almost identical problem. I've read that thread, and tried the suggestions there - nothing suggested worked. The thread was mainly about getting screensavers working again in KDE3 instead of only having screen blanking. (solutions including linking KDE3 screensaver directories etc. t get screensavers working again) Does anyone have any ideas of what else I can try to convince 11.1 that I do not want my screen locked and I do not want screensavers to come on automatically after a 6 minute timeout?
