[Bug 48509] Re: Power Saving in Display

[Simon Oosthoek]

I'm disappointed that this isn't fixed in 3.5.5 as well, as it is quite
frustrating to have no control over a user setting. Especially one that
affects the lifetime of monitors and real world energy use. Some people
actually care about the world's climate!

The problem seems to be that the setting is saved to
~/.kde/share/config/displayconfigrc, but the setting isn't read when
starting KDE, instead the default value of 5 hours is used.

Strangely, the first time a user logs in, the time shown in the display
settings is 45 minutes.

In office environments, sysadmins are reluctant to install unsupported
new versions of critical software (like KDE 3.5.6) or follow the
releases when they come out. Fixing this as an update to the stable
releases still in support is therefore indicated!

Please, pretty please, fix this in edgy's base updates!
