Hi Kishore

Yep, upgraded to Kubuntu 8.1, which gave me KDE 4.1 as my default desktop.

As mentioned in my last note to g, I think it's guidance-power. Also, I 
thought that I could just turn it off by going into System Settings --> 
Display --> Power Control, and disabling it. I tried this last night, 
left my desktop on, went to bed, woke up this morning, and it was still 
asleep.

Take note, I did this, and didn't reboot. I'll try it again, rebooting 
this time. Not sure if that matters.

Any help you folks can give is highly appreciative. And even though I 
would like to use the power save/hibernation mode occasionally, I 
definitely need to know how to turn it off when I need to.

Never had this problem with the plain KDE, which as I said, I was using 
for a little over a year.

Thanks again,

Darryl
