I was trying to configure my screensaver such, that it would display as only picture the desktop at the moment when the screensaver became active. In the KDE control center I chose the Slideshow screensaver (under Banners and Pictures) and in the setup I chose a specific directory as the media diretory (/home/your_user_name/Documents/images/desktop/). I also selected display one random image only. The media directory should be empty. Then I renamed /opt/kde3/bin/kslideshow.kss executable to kslideshow_ori.kss and created a shell script in the same directory that I named kslideshow.kss.

I have a old-fashioned battery charger from Varta (type 57 037 091 101) that doesn't switch off the current when the batteries are fully charged. Unfortunately this is the only charger I have e.g for D size batteries (also called mono batteries). The charger lists the necessary charging times for different types of batteries on its back side.

tar cvf backupfile.tar .[a-zA-Z0-9]*Any better ideas? This command requires that the dot is followed by an alphanumerical character. Which is usually the case for the hidden files in the user's home folder.
