Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.15-2
Severity: wishlist

XScreenSaver imposes its idea of DPMS settings every time it does
something.  However, I prefer to set DPMS externally (in particular, I
set a much shorter timeout when away, according to pam-usb).

One might expect that setting the 'dpmsEnabled' resource to a false
value would have the desired effect; however, that makes XScreenSaver
turn DPMS off at every opportunity - not what I wanted

It seems like the only way to stop XScreenSaver touching DPMS is to
recompile with --without-dpms-ext

I'd like to see a resource to prevent XScreenSaver using or touching
DPMS at all, so I can manage it without being overruled.
