Public bug reported:

The screen blanks after 30 seconds of not using the keyboard. I ran 'xset q | grep timeout' and got a timeout=0.
I then set 'xset s 900'. 'xset q | grep timeout' reports ' timeout:  900    cycle:  0'.
After 30 seconds the screen blanks.
I tried:
xset s 900
while 1
  xset q | grep timeout
  sleep 1
  end

I get timeout: 900 repeated until the screen blanks after 30 seconds.
Then it reports ' timeout:  0'.

1. The screen shouldn't blank until 900 seconds.
2. The timeout shouldn't change.
