I've been using xset all the time but not thought of it > being able to start the screensaver as well… :-) Hi Stefan, Possibly just a language difference, but just wanted to clarify. xset won't start the screensaver, the 'lock' above the xset does that. The 3 second sleep is to extract yourself from the computer so moving the mouse (or whatever) doesn't re-awaken the monitor after 'standby' puts the monitor in, well, standby (which I called sleep earlier). All of the above is really useful if you have a laptop in a hotel room (or computer in a bedroom). Best!, Michael ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
