    I'm trying to figure out how to shut off the bloody screen saver in KDE
    from a script. I've tried using xset as such:

    # xset s off
    # xset dpms 0 0 0
    # xset dpms force off
     
    And xscreensaver like this:

    #xscreensaver-command -exit

    Of course going into the KDE control panel and deselecting it works but
    I want to be able to control it from a script. The xscreensaver man
    pages said something about KDE creating a wrapper around xscreensaver
    and suggested turning of the KDE version and autostarting xscreensaver
    itself. I'm sure there has to be a way of programmatically controlling
    it, no?

    Thanks for any help,
