Yes, this is a bug in kpp which I have to solve - but I cannot do it until
may 10th :( QA, can this bug be assigned to someone else, please?

The screen going blank after a certain time is no mystery, as the Mach64
server supports DPMS. But the other porblem looks strange - does it do the
same thing with all screensavers or just some screensavers in

Yes, this is a bug - longstanding even. If you don't select the correct
mouse type, it's always considered a 2-button mouse and basta. I'll try
and implement a mouse autodetection tool some time after One Week(tm) but
it won't make it into 7.1 anyway :(
