In KDE, anyway, kcontrol -> Power Control -> Display Power Management seems to 
do the trick.  I haven't had the monitor blank since I turned that off.

Of course, that's useless if you're not using KDE, so that suggestion might 
not get you anywhere at all.

The blanking that occurs on the consoles (but not xterms) can be turned of 
with

        setterm -blank 0
