does anybody know the way to start the screensaver manually in TDE?

the default shortcut for start screensaver is Ctrl+Alt+S, for lock screen Ctrl+Alt+L. You can also use dcop calls:

dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface save dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock

Hi Slávek,

What does the save do?

Also Stefan,

dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock sleep 3 xset dpms force standby

That will also 'sleep' the monitor without turning it off.

Best, Michael
