I am running Xubuntu 14.04 and have this issue, though I'm more concerned with the fact that my computer goes to sleep after a period of inactivity despite having both A/C and battery set to "Never" in the Power Manager. The workaround I use is a script that I added to the Application Autostart list:

xset s off
xset dpms 0 0 0
xset -dpms s off

I realize there is a bit of redundancy in using those three commands but I have tried different combinations and found using all three to be the only successful method.

An interesting thing to note is that everytime I update Xubuntu base I have to remove the command from the Autostart list and then add it again (unchecking and then checking the box does not work for me).

Hope this helps,
Jeremy
