I think I've now unconfused myself. :) Being inclined to install minimal systems with Xfce4 or a WM such as fvwm I mixed up power management with xscreensaver. Installing xscreensaver means it takes over from any xset settings in a configuration file; which makes sense. Purge xscreensaver, log out and back into Xfce4 and what is in ~/.xsessionrc takes effect. As an aside, the only reason I proposed ~/.xsessionrc rather than ~/.xsession as the file to put the xset command in is that I anticipated the OP's setup with gdm3 may not use ~/.xsession. Not wanting to lead him up one blind alley I then possibly went up another. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
