   Maybe - but they don't need to be.  X already natively supports lack of   
   usage timeout for screen turn off.   
      
   All you get is "blank" and "turn off" -- no fancy GL pipes or flying   
   toaster images bouncing around your display.  But it is all built in.   
      
   Look at the manpage for xset, the DPMS options provide for the 'power   
   down monitor after timeout' features.
