how to turn on/off the bloody KDE screen saver from a script

[Birt, Jeffrey]

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

for examples.
