By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Jan Stolarek 2020-05-26 11:12:30 CDT 
TDE provides a global keyboard shortcut to start screensaver (Alt+Ctrl+S by default). Additionally, TDEPowerSave exposes through DCOP functions that allow to control computer's power state, e.g. "dcop tdepowersave tdepowersaveIface do_suspendFreeze". What I find missing is a TDE built-in interface for switching monitor into one of DPMS states (standby, suspend, off). This would allow to assign keyboard shortcuts to manage monitor power states. Hopefully this is straightforward. TDEPowersave already manages DPMS, so it should just be a matter of exposing appropriate functions via DCOP.

Also, I am aware that setting DPMS mode should be possible with xset utility, but for whatever reason the only thing it does on my system is run the screensaver (so, e.g. I run "xset dpms force standby" and get screensaver).
