Thanks for the email, but that simply doesn't work on my machine.

I had changed the settings there before, it's now on 3 hours, and I
still find the desktop locked when I come back from lunch (which takes
some 30, 40 minutes)

Any other ideas?

Have checked for your monitors energy saving? I think that KDE is lockíng the
desktop when the monit is enter some energy saving state.
You can configure dpms in xorg.conf or from KDE's kcontrol.

or look in System Settings, Monitor & Display, Power Saving. Normally
set to 45 mnutes.

Thanks to everybody for the fast answers!

I've set the time saving to 3 hours as well, as an experiment. Though
I actually consider it a bug to lock my desktop just because the
monitor is saving energy, when I've already set the locking time to a
specific value.
