    Very cool! I had not even considered this route. From a shell it's as
    easy as:

    # dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface enable false

    to disable the screen saver. I tried this from Perl:

    system "dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface enable false";

    which does not work. I see there is a dcop library for Perl I'll have
    to look into tonight.

    We could report you to the police for that....
    Investigate dcop & dcopquit. See
    http://resolute.ucsd.edu/diwaker/articles/linux-tips.html
    for examples.
