I have now tested this with Ubuntu 14.04 dev and xscreensaver 5.15-3ubuntu1 but it is still not working. xset -q is still always showing "DPMS is Disabled" no matter how often I'm dis- and enabling it in xscreensaver but other values like the standby-, suspend- and off- time are successfully changed on xset -q if I'm changing them with xscreensaver. I'm on LXDE with LXDM as login manager if this should be related to this problem.

The configuration menu xscreensaver-demo provides under the register Advanced the option "Power Management Enable". But this option doesn't enable DPMS (xset -q says "DPMS is Disabled") so the screen can never go in the standby mode. The only way to get it work is to call xset +dpms.
