I have installed xscreensaver into Ubuntu 14.04.
I had to replace gnome-screensaver{,-command} with xscreensaver to get it to 
work.
But after that I find that DPMS is Disabled, and it annoys me.

Even without activating xserver, the xset power management is broken:

I could enable DPMS with this command:
xset +dpms

I could also force DPMS in suspend mode, and my display would enter power 
saving mode:
xset dpms force suspend

But within one minute, the display powers up, and DPMS is Disabled
again!


So what is the proper way to control the GNOME power management?
