Using systemsetting GUI, I removed a `key`: [AC][DimDisplay] idleTime=540000 Also, my kde-plasma-framework... might be more up to date. Who knows. In any case the above script, which leaves much to be desired, is now working. So, with it running in a terminal, you can do: Ctrl-Alt-L, and ta-da, the screen turns of a few seconds later. And when you unlock, the default behavior is restored.
