Monitor Standby

Hi,
I'm new to linux and i have a Debian etch installation with gnome. It
works fine but i could not manage to set up a monitor standby delay. I
need it to switch to standby after 30 mins of inactivity.
The package gnome-power-manager doesn't seem to work for me.
I found about "xset" and when i use this: "xset dpms 0 0 30" it
suspends my monitor in 30 secs. great. But i could not manage to make
it run each time.
I did add the line into a shell script and added it to startup programs
list of gnome. did not work, just caused gnome's splash screen to get
stuck on screen.
Tried to add these lines to "/etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default"
if [ -x /usr/bin/X11/xset ]; then
/usr/bin/X11/xset dpms 0 0 30
fi
no luck.. i cannot find what i'm missing. tried everything i could
think of but as i said, i'm not so experienced with linux.
Could someone explain this to me please?
Thanks.
.
