Hmmm...well in that case someday it'd be good to have a gnome-screensaver replacement for xfce. Or modify xscreensaver to have a power-manager friendly mode where it doesn't show DPMS options, or anything else, that interferes with power-manager. (not sure if there's anything else, but I'd like to have blanking / DPMS consistent and battery vs AC modes (not just for screen suspend/power off like with power-manager)) -- <erno> hm.
