I have problems with the BlankTime Option: Any help?

Hi!

Last night, I discussed this issue in a German
Debian forum:

http://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=117290&start=0
Problem mit BlankTime-Option: Screensaver nicht totzukriegen

There, I got the essential hint:
I have to deal with "xset q" and "xset s".

I went some more blind alleys last night. But now,
I found some dirty solution that fix my problem.

I have to insert the entry "xset s noblank" into
a file that is automatically called:

- the .bash_profile (is called with each KDE session startup)
- the .bashrc (is called with each xterm call / sort
  of redundant but it makes assurance double sure)

This is what I found out after some pondering.

The suggestion of Markus to use the .kde/Autostart folder
obviously goes the same way.

@Markus: The script that you had to wrote, does it consist of the
"xset s noblank" entry? If not, then you can post it to give
me (and other users searching with Google) some more alternatives.

No matter which approach I will choose: All currently
known approaches are dirty. I will be forced to write
some sort of autostart file. It seems that someone at the
corridors of power wants to antiquate the concept of
configuration files. Maybe in five years the whole
"/etc" directory is replaced bei some intransparent
autostart files where I have to encode every wish
as a command?
