strange way 'kdesktoprc' is shown, being i have it as a file, not a directory.

anyway, my 'kdesktoprc', sleep enabled and lock disabled shows;

   [ScreenSaver]
   Lock=false
   Saver=KSlideshow.desktop
   Timeout=480

w/ lock enabled;

   [ScreenSaver]
   Saver=KSlideshow.desktop
   Timeout=480

where 'lock=' went, do not know. may be else where with 'display power off'.
not sure of where it would be tied in, and need 'find /'. being that it is thru
'control center', setup file could be among /etc or /usr.

maybe. 'ps -el|less' to see what else is running.

nft.

if no one comes up with solution, you could always 'mv .kde .kde.bad'
and run 'startx' again.

yes, i know, re-config kde. but what the heck, it might cure things.
at least you will still have desktop icons. scattered, but there.  :o)

there is always loading source and reading a bunch c files.  :o(


loads of luck and perseverance.
