Indeed. This functionality (especially DPMS off) is crucial in a number
of scenarios (including laptop power saving). It would be most excellent
to have this moved into a power management capplet, perhaps powered by
the GNOME Power Manager or some other daemon.

It would be similarly excellent to add support for things like dimming
your screen after 5 minutes (ala Apple) and so on. Of course, most of
this will be the perview of the power manager (Richard, are you
proposing we integrate G-P-M into 2.14?).
