my screen i sblank after 2:35 min

hi.
i use gnome and since some update (don't know which one)
my screen i s blank after 2:45 minutes approx. BUT i have set 5 minutes in gnome screensaver time. i even disable it to use xscreensaver to be able to use electric-sheep. (time set to 5 minutes too) but it happen again

now even with xscreensaver not running, and gnome screensaver disabled, my screen is still blank at 2:45 minutes ! WTF !
any help appreciated.

i am beginning to disable (randomly ?) some screensaver setting i found in gconf-editor hoping it will fix that , will it ?
like
/apps/totem/plugins/screensaver
/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/screensaver

my xorg.conf is empty of DPMS setting. so ?

EDIT
now it is every 1min30 that my screen i s blank.

if I disable dpms setting with xset -dpms the blank of my screen does not happen anymore.
but if I reenable it and set a time in {x,gnome} screensaver greater than 1:30 it does not work because my screen is again blank at 1:30
but if I set {x,gnome} screensaver at 1min < 1min 30 it works.
so where the f*** is that dpms setting that screw everything up ?

EDIT 2
even using xset s off change nothing to this

EDIT 3
this does not happen with a new user
and my power saving setting is set to 30 minutes for the screen...
