Hi,
I've noticed that after locking my screen with betterlockscreen --lock and then unlocking the monitor turns off quite quickly.

If I run xset q before locking I get:

...
DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 600    Suspend: 600    Off: 600
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On

But after locking and unlocking I get:

...
DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 30    Suspend: 600    Off: 600
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On

I have lock_timeout=30 in my betterlockscreenrc, it seems that this value overwrites the DPMS Standby time.

This is the output of betterlockscreen --version
