	Hi again Christoph. I tested with latest svn KDE4 and Kaffeine
1.1 tarball.

	I think the problem is directly related to DPMS configuration
in the xorg.conf file. I have:

    Option         "DPMS"

	and xset -q returns:

DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 600    Suspend: 900    Off: 1200
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On

	It seems Kaffeine does not disable this configuration during
playback (maybe it just disables the KDE configuration temporarily,
but not the xorg configuration).

	So the "solution" is:

xset -dpms

	The interesting thing is that (just for comparison) MPlayer
disables correctly the DPMS setting. I just use:

stop-xscreensaver=1

	in ~/.mplayer/config file... Maybe Kaffeine could do the same?
Or in fact it does that but it simply it is not working here?

	Thanks.
