I think I've now unconfused myself. :) Being inclined to install minimal
systems with Xfce4 or a WM such as fvwm I mixed up power management with
xscreensaver. Installing xscreensaver means it takes over from any xset
settings in a configuration file; which makes sense. Purge xscreensaver,
log out and back into Xfce4 and what is in ~/.xsessionrc takes effect.
As an aside, the only reason I proposed ~/.xsessionrc rather than
~/.xsession as the file to put the xset command in is that I anticipated
the OP's setup with gdm3 may not use ~/.xsession. Not wanting to lead
him up one blind alley I then possibly went up another.
