Bug#379059: kde screensaver unreliable
I've been having trouble with the KDE screensaver being turned off, too,
using the current unstable Debian. This is speculation, but I think I've
managed to find a reliable way to trigger it:
* Start an SDL application. They seem to turn off the screensaver while
they're running, and restore it on exit.
* Start a second SDL application. This one will presumably remember the
original state as being one where the screensaver is off.
* End the first application. The screensaver is restored to being on.
* End the second application. The screensaver is "restored" to being off.
Though I can't seem to turn off DPMS this way. Maybe something's wrong
in my guessing...
