I have not read any of the other replies, but an alternative is to add an
Applet to your Panel that calls this Batch file. (I use the Gnome-Mines
system icon for grins and place it on the far opposite side from the TDE
Menu.)
===========
goodnight.sh
#!/bin/bash
dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
sleep 3
xset dpms force standby

It locks the session and after 3 seconds turns the screen off.
I've used this for 5+ years on my old Dell laptop (with CentOS, Ubuntu, Gnome,
KDE, TDE), so I don't remember if it's hardware specific, so change as needed
for your hardware.
Best,
