It's not a matter of doing xset +dpms, it's generally enabled by

for different levels of powerdown, usually you'll see three numbers in
the GUI configurators too. So "xset dpms 0 0 0" would have fixed your
problem too. So the question is what is setting your settings to
something crazy and why. I usually set mine to xset dpms 0 0 1200
which turns the monitor off after 20 minutes of inactivity.
This is a fresh install about a week old. After install, I have some
scripts that re-install all packages that had been installed on the last
system and do some configuration. But I don't touch xset, and in fact I
didn't know anything about dpms until Col posted and I looked it up.
So, I guess that whatever enables it by default is the first place to
look for the 30-second problem. After that, it would have to have been
in a package install script.
