 Replying to [comment:31 jg]:
 > I don't understand this one...  X will take care of handling the dcon;
 if the screen isn't being used, it can use the dcon to take over display
 to save power; if the screen saver is on for a while, the screen saver
 extension is able to tell the dcon to turn off the screen entirely after
 the timeout.

 Maybe I'm using the word dcon incorrectly. All I want to do is shut the
 screen off (as in black screen after a few minutes idle) - or do you just
 want to go to black and white mode?

 And you _really_ don't want a screensaver from a power management point of
 view.

 I assumed OHM would be the thing that turned the display off rather than a
 session based XScreenSaver type thing.
