Bug ID: 11491
Summary: xflock4 does not turn off screen due to lack of sleep
Classification: Xfce
Product: Xfce4-session
Version: 4.10.1
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Medium
Component: General

As noted at http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html calls to
"xset dpms" need to be prefixed with "sleep 1":
will blank the screen (or activate the screensaver program, if you're using
one) after a delay of one second. You need the delay because X gets a
little
confused about the order of events; it will blank the screen but immediate
un-blank it, thinking the activity of your typing the command happened
recently enough to come out of screensaver mode.
sleep 1; xset dpms force off
will turn the screen OFF after a delay of one second. You can also use
standby, suspend, or on instead of off.
