From the Power Management section of the xscreensaver man page: "As of version 3.28, the ~/.xscreensaver file controls the configuration of your display's power management settings: if you have used xset(1) to change your power management settings, then xscreensaver will over-ride those changes with the values specified in ~/.xscreensaver (or with its built-in defaults, if there is no ~/.xscreensaver file yet.)" -Alex
