Indeed, I think this is exactly the problem.  xset reported dpms at 600 for
all three values, which is, of course, exactly 10 minutes.  I've manually set
these to 3600 and we'll see, but I'm fairly confident this will increase the
screen blank time to 1h.  This has to be reset on every reboot.

To the g-s-d maintainers: please let me know if there's anything further I can
do to help you debug the problem.  

Thanks Bryce.

Title:
  Screen always goes blank after 10 minutes

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Even though my screen saver settings say to "Turn off after: 1 hour",
  my screens always go blank after 10 minutes of inactivity.  This is
  entirely reproducible.  I am using the free glx driver with my Radeon
  HD 4670 card, dual-headed.
