Thank you. I too once looked at KHotkeys and couldn't figure out how it was supposed to be used. I managed to configure a suspend D-Bus action set up as follows: Remote application: org.kde.powerdevilsystem Remote object: /modules/powerdevil Function: suspend Arguments: 2 Hibernate is set up exactly the same but the argument is 4 instead of 2. There are also other options available (shutdown, etc.) - see the enum IdleAction in PowerDevil's source code kdebase/workspace/powerdevil/daemon/PowerDevilDaemon.h -- David Jarvie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
