It turns out xflock4 was enabling DPMS, not xlockmore.  I commented
this line in /usr/bin/xflock4 and DPMS doesn't re-enable:

# xset dpms force off

Now I just need a way to disable DPMS (ie 'xset -dpms') on bootup.  I
tried adding a script to /etc/local.d but it didn't work so whatever
else is enabling DPMS on bootup must be doing it after that script is
executed.  Any ideas?
