> DPMS is disabled, if you have chosen mode "Disable Screen Saver" in Xscreensaver's preferences.

Is this really the case? At least xscreensaver-demo does not gray out the DPMS settings while it grays out the screensaver settings if the screensaver is disabled. So technically this would be a bug either in xscreensaver itself as it should not disable DPMS or in xscreensaver-demo as it should gray out the DPMS settings.

I'm not sure if it makes actually sense to bind the DPMS settings to the screensaver settings as maybe the DPMS settings should just work independent and be able to standby/shutdown the monitor no matter if a screensaver has been enabled or not. Not sure what happens and what should happen if the screen is locked. Maybe the DPMS settings should just apply as configured and eventually there should be an option to apply the choosen DPMS settings as soon as the lock screen does nothing draw anymore (it sounds a bit as "Quick Power-off in Blank Only Mode" does this already).
