[kdepim-users] kArm 1.6.0 idletimedetector / Desktop Idle setting stuck at 1 min?

[A W]

Thanks for the reply. I think you might be onto something, but I tried your
workaround (deactivate and reactivate the power management) and still no
luck. I don;t think it has to do with the screen...but maybe some underlying
timing disorder?
So, if anyone else is using kArm on KDE 3.5.10 and it is/isn't working, I'd
love to hear about it.
I've had to just disable the idle timer and remember to stop timing manually
when switching tasks...
Thanks
