Hi Gene!

I have things like these in .xinitrc - but as .xinitrc is not executed by TDE, you'll need to add "xhost +" to .xinitrc and add a shortcut to the Autostart folder:

eg.: ~/.xinitrc

#!/bin/bash
xhost +

Then make .xinitrc executeable.
Now add a shortcut:

$ konqueror ~/.trinity/Autostart
right mouse button, "Add shortcut to program", select ~/.xinitrc as the executable.

Now let's test it. Log out of TDE and log in again. Change to a console <ctrl>+<shift>+<F1> and type:

$ xset -display=:0 +dpms



Nik
