I am seeing this same bug in Debian Wheezy with Xfce. I get similar output from

$ xset q

Despite what I have set in xscreensaver, DPMS is blanking the screen at 600 seconds (aka 10 minutes).

After login, if you go into xscreensaver and adjust any settings, the screensaver will then work at the expected intervals. Another check of xset q will show the values you entered in xscreensaver.

I'm not sure what is happening here, but it looks like xscreensaver is still active but not changing the values via xset at login.

I've written a script to get around this -- to manually reset the DPMS values via xset, but it's an ugly hack, and it would be better to figure out what's going on with xscreensaver at login.
