thanks
Despite Jamie's misgivings, I believe it's possible to provide the
functionality I need without inconvenience users who like the existing
action; I attached a patch that adds a config file option
leaveDpmsAlone (no UI or documentation - I could perhaps have a stab
at that later
Sorry, I think this is only going to confuse people. Applications should not
have UI elements that just magically get ignored if some forgotten text-only
preference is set.
I'm not going to install this patch upstream.

I understand what you're asking for. You want this, but more people want the
opposite. Sorry, but

Version: 5.15-2
Severity: wishlist
XScreenSaver imposes its idea of DPMS settings every time it does
something. However, I prefer to set DPMS externally (in particular, I
set a much shorter timeout when away, according to pam-usb).
One might expect that setting the

It's impossible to allow use of both xset and a GUI and know which setting
should take priority, since changes to settings don't have timestamps on them.
Therefore, xscreensaver has to be 100% in charge of these settings for it to
