One of those annoyances I'm just gonna have to live with then!..
this is the output of xset q :
[...]
Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 0 cycle: 0
this doesn't look quite right to me, the timeout value should be something like 600 (i.e. 10 minutes) or so.
DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On
I think the standby, suspend and off values should be non-zero, the xset man page says that "a value of zero disables a particular mode", so all modes seem disabled here. So ``xset dpms 10 20 30'' might be worth trying (well, for testing, you'll want longer times in the long run).
