I don't think you need to use dcop; in fact, I don't think it is possible a=
t=20
all to use dcop to do what you want.

It seems that what you need is xset(1). See the manual (look for dpms optio=
n).
An example:
$ xset dpms 60 300 600
or even
$ xset -dpms

There are also some X11 messages you can pass around to do the same thing=20
programatically; AFAIR the extension is XDPMS.
