I would have to agree, this is a useful advanced tool available on other systems and should be kept. It would be nice if every application did a perfect job of telling the computer when it should and should not go into screensaver mode, but unfortunately not all of them do reliably. Therefore, having a way for people to prevent the screensaver from activating is a worthwhile tool in my opinion, although not by default of course. -Todd _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
