hi guys,

i'd like to have the folling improvement of the KDE destop:

immediate startup of the screensaver when the mouse arrow stays in a defined corner of the screen for a definable period of time (e.g. 1 sec, 2 sec, etc.)

background: when i leave the computer i'd like the screensaver being activated at once. The most simple way to achive this is moving the mouse pointer in a defined corner of the screen.

possible solution: in the 'desktop effects' applet there is already the section 'screen corners' where you can switch to see all running applications etc. by moving the mouse to a screen corner. should be possible to implement 'start screen saver' there as an option.

cheers

Just personally I would hate to accidentally keep on activating my screensaver.
