The problem here is that the x server's dpms settings don't seem to be affected. If the user selects "Put display to sleep when inactive for: Never", it should also do the equivalent of running "xset -dpms". As it is, if anyone *really* wants to prevent the display from turning off (like on a media pc), this command must be run each time the system is rebooted even though this option in gnome-power-manager has been selected.
