If you are using gnome-power-manager daemon it is preferred/recommended
that you use the GNOME tools to manage the power saving values. Mixing
xset setting with a currently running daemon can cause unexpected results.

These settings will be reset to default values when you log out.
Note that not all X implementations are guaranteed to honor all of these
options.

That is, you'll have to provide the commands you want to change on every

power settings defaults so these values don't need to be altered for him.
