Shorter than this can actually make it difficult to read complex text (try reading a scientific paper on a large screen, you may well find you can go over 5 minutes between page downs if you're looking at a detail). Also, since it's come up, screen dimming/sleep is a power setting, it's possible to consider what times are appropriate for that separately to locking. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
