Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, KDE 4.1.4.

KDE 4.1.x has a power-consuming bug: as long as a screensaver is set (even if set to blank), monitor DPMS standby/poweroff won't work. AFAIK there's a blank screensaver by default, this means that too many kubuntu computers around the world keep wasting monitor power when idle.

KDE fixed this on 4.2: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165265

I think we should backport to Interpid.
