You may want to look into the "screen saver" of the X server (distinct
from xscreensaver):

`xset q`

=2E..
Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  600    cycle:  600
=2E..

The values are in seconds, so the X server on my system will blank the
screen after 10 minutes of inactivity.  You may disable this behavior
with `xset s off`.

Note that I seem to recall an option in the KDE control panel
(probably power settings) that allows you to adjust this value.
