[ubuntu-za] Disable screen power management

[Charl Wentzel]

Thanks Lee

However the app is called from /etc/rc.local, so it runs without someone logging in. Also now Gnome, only command line.

Could I put this in rc.local as well?

xset s off -dpms

This needs to run each time, so put it in your login script, or in 
"Sessions" if you have Gnome up.
