Are you sure you selected "save and exit" rather than "cancel and exit"?

I guess the power consumption of the timer is negligible (especially since it runs for 20 secs), and there is no shortage of resources at that point. The purpose that nickel is automatically started is that it already happened that after a new firmware release, KSM became unresponsive to any touch and needed a new touch driver, so that it was impossible to do any selections. In such a case it comes handy if nickel starts automatically so that you can connect to the pc and uninstall KSM or fix it. I would rather increase the value for KsmAutoselectafter. If you really want to disable it, remove ksmAutoselectoption via "configure". But be aware of the dangere!

Try to select "add item".

I never tried to set the sleep-after time myself (and I do not have my reader at hand), but Koreader has a huge configuration menu. Did you try it?

Right, as soon as you launch Koreader, nickel, vlasovsoft laucher, ... no KSM application is running (except some shell scripts, for instance the preventfeeze script, if this option is enabled).

With perhaps text that says "sleeping", but no need to have any text at all when it is powered down. It should just be powered down in whichever state- dark or light screen - uses the least, preferably no, power.

KSM 07 does not have a sleep feature. As for drawing the power-off screen of course that needs power. No power is needed however to maintain the screen after it has been drawn. If you want no drawing at all before powering off (the KSM menu will remain on the screen), you can edit the file .adds\kbmenu\onstart\poweroff.sh. You can, for instance, delete the whole code apart from
Code:
/bin/busybox poweroff
(Use a unix style editor, when modifying script files!)

Do you mean the sleep screen display of KSM? There is none. KSM has no autopoweroff function.
After using the Kobo reader for some time, you might find that you power concerns might be uncalled-for, but your needs might of course be different from mine.
