I don't know about KDE, but for X in general: "man xset", read the
"dpms" section.

"man xset", "mouse" section

Read about processes and threads in general.
Simplified: If a program has only 1 thread/process, it will only run on
1 CPU. This is a design decision by the application programmer.

You're welcome 

PS:
Please keep in mind that this is an OpenBSD list. Questions about KDE
etc. should rather be asked on those mailing lists. People here tend to
(at best) ignore unrelated questions...
