Ah yes, I see now that is documented in the manpage of version 6.02, but not in 5.45 which Debian has / I'm running. Thanks for the pointer; else I probably would ~never have noticed, since I run xset -dpms; while sleep 30; do xscreensaver-command -deactivate; done when I run a long video, and xset +dpms when I'm finished.
