No, I really got that wrong, at least in writing. Thanks for the clarification. $ dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock doesn't start the screensaver on my system but just does what the command says, it locks the screen/session, just like it would if you lock the session from TDE menu. I guess you have configured your system to automatically start the screensaver when you lock the session… $ dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface save directly starts the screensaver and that's what I was looking for in the first place to try out screensavers in a running session. > 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 Thanks and best to you, too!
