Even when a (music) video is desplayed, the monitor switches off and music freezes to a consistent beep sound. this makes playing an mp3 playlist or internet radio a nuisance than a pleasure.

If that is the case, does it help, if you run the following command? xset s off If that helped, does the timeout 600 come back after reboot?

A workaround is to add command "xset s off" as an autostarted application in session settings (provided that resetting to 600 does not happen automatically within session.) I think PM should override xset setting at least, if you choose Mode > Presentation.

I think it is not desirable to disable X screensaver by Xfce4 Power Manager in Normal mode, since user may want to have some screensaver activated, instead of just blanking the screen, according to that timeout setting. Monitor power management will work regardless according to DPMS settings (that Xfce4 Power Manager sets), if control stays in the same virtual terminal.

It would be nice, if xfce4-power-manager could re- enable Presentation Mode (like "xset -dpms ; xset s off" in shell) automatically after screen locking stops, but this may be impossible at least with current xflock4, because normally screen is still locked after xflock4 exits.
