Curious, Xorg does appear to be initialized with the DPMS timers all set
to "0".

$ xset q
...
DPMS (Energy Star):
 Standby: 0    Suspend: 0    Off: 0
 DPMS is Enabled
 Monitor is On

This is "normal" behavior of g-p-m for a long time. It manages timeouts by itself setting usuall Xorg DPMS to 0. I've reported a bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543956 some time ago, but this is probably the best it can do. This has nothing to do with this problem, unless Xorg changed its behavior and is kicking in DPMS at 0, instead "never".

Looks like gnome and Xorg both are trying to DPMS blank the screen.
