No, absolutely not, for the reasons I've said. If you are running xscreensaver, it is in charge of DPMS, period. That is by design and will not change.

I don't understand what is wrong with your machine that you suffer the problems you describe, but breaking xscreensaver's connection to DPMS is no solution.
