[FAQ]
Why doesn't DPMS work when I've enabled it in XScreenSaver?
It's enabled for xscreensaver, not gnome-screensaver. XSS is the legacy
system that will be replaced with gnome-screensaver very soon. You
probably need to install this package, and then g-p-m will automatically
work with gnome-screensaver to use the DPMS settings of your monitor. 
[/FAQ]

I've got to ask, why can't it use the Xorg's Xset program w/ DPMS to
blank the screen?
gg: '/usr/X11R6/bin/xset -display :0 dpms force off'

Would a patch be welcomed? (just asking, before I go ahead and look at
the code) 

(my moving towards patching it is still low since I get that from my
current acpid implementation; which I'm pretty fond of now)
