add the following lines to the Screen section of /etc/X11/XF86Config: StandByTime 0 SuspendTime 20 OffTime 25 change values to suit your preference. also add: Option "power_saver" to the Device section. this makes the power save settings global to the X server instead of per session with xset, which i presume is what you are doing now. don't know about gshutdown, what i did was make a windowmaker button that runs /usr/local/bin/shutdown which is a script that exectutes sudo shutdown -h now. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
