Well, I fail to see in what it's problematic. The current situation
(depending on the checkbox) is:

- either you force DPMS settings and don't let anyone touch it
- either you force DPMS settings and don't let anyone touch it

I agree that, for users which need it, DPMS management by xscreensaver
is ok (and nice), but I wonder in what “don't force any DPMS settings”
is ”to disable an important feature of xscreensaver”. Maybe I didn't
look at the code enough, but that's simply (or so to speak) a matter of
not doing the DPMSSetTimeouts() call. (and again, one can imagine doing
DPMSForceLevel() instead).
