Gnome disable screen power off on lockscreen

Hi, a quick tip today. To keep screen on while lockscreen is activated you must disable DPMS. do it by typing in console:

xset -dpms

Because this setting is only active during current session, you must put it to some startup script. I have my scripts in ~/.config

I use gnome-session-properties for configuring startup scripts. 

I even registered to gnome bugzilla to suggest this workaround. Strange, that all those Linux gurus didn't found out this solution, me, Windows guy, had to do it ;)
