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.
