Deactivate screensaver until time is set

If the system clock is off (being late), when the time is set properly from the network, the screen is blanked. As it happens during the boot process, this is a little bit sudden and frightening. Moving the mouse gets the display back, but sill, it would be best to be avoided.

As Tais does not ship gnome-screensaver it is probably X.org that does the blanking. One should experiment with the -dpms and +dpms options of xset(1).
