xine now uses the xdg-screensaver command to control screensavers. If
you're not using GNOME or KDE then this will run 'xset s off' to inhibit
the X server's built-in screensaver and 'xset s default' to return to
the default screensaver behaviour (i.e whatevery you configured).
According to the manual page xorg.conf(5), the default screensaver
timeout is indeed 10 minutes. Do you disable the screensaver in a
session script or in the X server configuration?
