Here's the beginning of my .xsession file:

  # set power saving modes
  xset dpms 1800 2100 2200
  
  # set screen locking
  xautolock -time 30 -locker "xlock -mode blank" \
  -corners 00+0 -cornerdelay 2 -cornerredelay 5 -cornersize 10 &


It's set for 1800 (30 minutes) because that is what the monitor docs
recommended as the minimum time between degaussing. The monitor degauses
when it powers up.
