Not to be funny and definitely not to start any kind of a gnome vs. KDE 
flame war but I don't see VNC behaving like this with gnome.  This 
includes even having the "screensaver" kick-in after the set inactivity 
period on the VNC desktop.  I think both systems were running CentOS 4 
(gnome, x.org) at the time.  Just pointing out that this behavior *may* 
be peculiar to VNC interacting with KDE.

Cheers,
Dave

If I recall correctly, when I was using Gnome on Core 4 I never had this 
problem either -- even with DPMS on and the Monitor off, and in 
powersave mode. Therefore, I suspect you are correct and this is KDE 
specific.
