And you are certain the powersave application starts up in kde4, even though powersave is not installed:

to tell you the truth no I'm not how do I go about check this out?

The ways to fix the the power settings in kde4 is in Configure Desktop also. Just like the other settings they're in weird places.
For Powersave
1.Open Configure Desktop
2.Click the Advanced Tab
3.Look for a light bulb icon
If you click Edit Profiles it'll tell you what each of those items like presentation & powersave mean. The Defaults there should serve you well.
Back on topic:
The screensaver timing setting is under the General Tab
1.Click the Desktop icon
2.Click Screensaver you'll then see there is a start automatically check box.
once you see it you'll know how.

alright yes I've checked all these and the settings are what there supposed to be...like I said before the "requires password to stop box is not checked yet I am required to enter a password to stop the screen saver. also, an interesting note, when I go to resume my session the screen doesn't black and bring up the enter password dialog box it just sort of hangs in the background "flashing" with the screensaver still going...so whats the next step

oh ok nevermind it was what you told me to do in post 14 except I seemed to miss some of the settings (guess that's what happens when you stay up all night trying to figure it out) I just had to change the "when system is idle for __ setting to do nothing. thanks for your help
