Desktop shortcut to turn off the screen in KDE 3.5?
 
Hello.
I am looking for a way to create a desktop shortcut that will turn off the screen in KDE 3.5 .
I don't want it to be timed to turn off after a certain period of time, but on demand.
"kdesktop_lock --dontlock" uses the blank screen saver so it's no good since I am looking for a way to save power on my laptop.

KDE 3.5 on Slakware 12.2

Create a shortcut with this command line in it:

Code:
xset -display :0 dpms force off
