More confirmation that dtgreet is involved.  It appears that dtgreet
does not use dpms.  When the screen is blanked, xset -q shows that the
monitor (DPMS) is on, but the screen is blank.

Running "xset s reset" activates the screen.

I think dtgreet is not unblanking the screen properly.  Perhaps it
expects DPMS to do this, or somesuch.  This is all very strange,
because, again, on my Radeon 7000 x86 system I've not seen any such
problems.
