The message 200410121916.47829.gt@pobox.com from Graham gt@pobox.com contains these words:
This is also why I hate screensavers, why have the computer display some fancy image after 20 mins of inactivity when it is just as easy to tell the monitor to shut down.
Ah, at last someone with a shared pet hate.

Now if only I could persuade Linux to tell the monitor to shut down. Is there a guide to power management and how to make it work? I've fiddled around in KDE, changed BIOS settings etc but all I get is a nearly-black screen which the monitor ignores.
I have an 'Off' button on each of my monitors...
