Do not lock on dpms screen off

Issue #25 new
Alexey Korepanov created an issue

Hi! I’d like to make xss-lock not lock the screen on dpms powersaving events when the screen goes off.

The use case is: when I’m using the computer from time to time, say every 30 minutes, I would like the screen to go off to save energy after say 5 minutes, but I don’t want to reenter the password each time I return to it. Yet if I am away for a long time, say 4 hours, or if I command xset s activate explicitly, I’d like to the screen to lock.

I’ve been lurking for a long time, but can’t find a nice way to do that.
