TCC -> System Administration -> Monitor & Display has nothing enabled. Thus I would
expect no attempt from TDE to save power. Is this not the case? After 10 minutes, the
screen blanks for several seconds, after which the desktop wallpaper reappears, but
not the panel or open Windows. This happens whether the session is started from TDM
or with startx. I see nothing in /etc/X11 to account for this, though I'm not sure
what I would be looking for other than an Option "DPMS" statement in xorg.conf*. Is
this to be expected? Should I file a TDE bug?
