Re: [DNG] Question re: screen blanking and shutoff

You need to understand how your Desktop environment is being initialized. It is started by the Display Manager, thus inherit whatever environment variable is sourced by the DM. To have the DM be aware of custom variables, it needs to source that information from a file from your home directory.
