Not to be funny and definitely not to start any kind of a gnome vs. KDE flame war but I don't see VNC behaving like this with gnome. This includes even having the "screensaver" kick-in after the set inactivity period on the VNC desktop. I think both systems were running CentOS 4 (gnome, x.org) at the time. Just pointing out that this behavior *may* be peculiar to VNC interacting with KDE.
This behaviour does not kick in when the screensaver starts up but only when the screensaver goes off the screen when the power save kicks in later -(in my systems). I would be interested to know if you still get normal behaviour if you wait until the screen is in powersave (not just with the screensaver running visibly) with the operating system different from Fedora and with gnome - this would certainly point at kde/vnc interaction of some kind. Hopefully more information can be obtained and a solution found. -- mike cohler
