Finally, I found the right solution: I thrown my ten old computer to the
trash, and bought ten new with a nice juicy good looking Windows'Vista in.
Naaaaaa NO WAY; using m$ "products" is much alike killing yourself eating
monsanto "food":)
In fact, the solution was quite simple: the "lts.conf.sample" says the
X_DPMS are imported from X; which appears to be true but for the default
values (I think it's 10min to blank, 16 to suspend and 20 to off).
So I add these lines to my lts.conf:
X_DPMS = Y
X_DPMS_STANDBYTIME = 3
X_DPMS_SUSPENDTIME = 3
X_DPMS_OFFTIME = 3
and now I've got my monitors off after 3min while waiting in GDM.
The KDE's display settings are also working right (tested with 1min and
5min settings for all times)
