Public bug reported:
I've used light-locker settings to set a blank time of 4 minutes and a
display suspend time of 6 minutes. However, when I power up the machine
and log in, these settings are not in effect, and 'xset q' reports the
following (unrelated output cut):
Screen Saver:
prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes
timeout: 0 cycle: 0
...
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 7200 Suspend: 7200 Off: 14400
DPMS is Disabled
I can see that ~/.config/autostart/screensaver-settings.desktop has been
written correctly. I've also replaced xset with a wrapper that logs
calls, from which I can see that the autostart command is being run, and
that immediately afterwards xset q reports the expected values. So
something is presumably overriding the settings shortly afterwards, but
it is not calling the xset binary (presumably it pokes the X server
directly).
I don't know if it is related to power management settings. This is on a
laptop plugged into the mains and with no battery present. As far as I
remember I haven't configured any power management settings in XFCE, but
I'm not 100% sure. laptop-mode-tools is installed but I haven't touched
the configuration for it.
