If you don't receive a working answer here, you could try it on the 
Kubuntu-users list as well:

In the file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" for the proprietary nvidia driver I 
have this section:

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option         "BlankTime" "0"
    Option         "NoPM" "1"
    Option         "StandbyTime" "0"
    Option         "SuspendTime" "0"
    Option         "OffTime" "0"
EndSection

I have no idea if it might be also relevant for other xservers.
