I have traced this down to a DPMSInfo() call in the kdesktop_lock

Even though there has been mouse or keyboard input to wake kdesktop_lock
up and cause it to turn off the screen saver, kdesktop_lock (or a
respawned process of it) checks DPMSInfo() and if it sees the Monitor
is in a low power state ("standby", "suspend", or "off") it turns on
the screensaver again.

I'm not sure if this is the desired behavior of kdesktop_lock or not to
discard the recent mouse/keyboard input information...

I have put in a workaround to x11vnc for this, the -nodpms option where
it will keep the Monitor in the DPMS "on" state whenever VNC clients
are connected.
