Thanks for having a look. On my side it's not happening reliably, so
havne't pinned it down, although it's definitely linked to the
screensaver having reset this by the time I unlock the screen.
I a using E's built in screensaver. I guess I could switch back to xlock

I just locked with E CTRL+ALT+L, unlocked, and immediately see:
Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  300    cycle:  300

DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 11    Suspend: 12    Off: 13
  DPMS is Enabled

mmh, bummer, looks like the SS is gone already.

I assume you referred to "special timeout when screen is locked"?
If so, I tried to set it to 0, but locking and unlocking brought me back to
Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  300    cycle:  300
DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 11    Suspend: 12    Off: 13
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On

So, no dice.

Any idea what I can try to tweak outside of removing the E screensaver altogether?

Thanks,
Marc
