xset dpms during X startup?

Is it possible to configure xset(1) DPMS settings in a ~/.xsession
file for when a login session starts?

I have the following ~/.xsession file:

 /usr/X11R6/bin/xset -b
 /usr/X11R6/bin/xset dpms 1800 7200 14400
 /usr/X11R6/bin/xscreensaver -no-splash &
 exec startfluxbox

But after logging into XDM after X is restarted 'xset q' still shows:

DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 7200    Suspend: 7200    Off: 14400
  DPMS is Disabled

Option "DPMS" is enabled in my xorg.conf.

Is there something I don't know about DPMS and .xsession?

FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p4
xorg-6.9.0
fluxbox-devel-0.9.14_1

TIA,
