Jonh, thanks for pushing this one forward. I think both of suggested
patches are not really appropriate, as they just cure the side effect
and not the root cause. The issue is that kdisplayrc contains values in
minutes, therefore it does not make sense to change defaults to seconds
as suggested by Francisco. I think the correct patch is that when
kdisplayrc is read, proper defaults are used. Currently, they use DPMS
values directly (in seconds) and this wrongly initializes the defaults.
I think the right patch is the following:

I am building kdebase now to try this out.
I am still not sure why this is triggered only with KDE 3.5.5. There was only
one change in 3.5.5 in this code:
http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.5/kdebase/kcontrol/energy/energy.cpp?rev=575644&r1=438982&r2=575644
I will discuss with the guy who committed this change about his view of
this problem.
