I use gnome (thus gdm), and dpms is off on my system as well. and I have 
a similar problem from time to time (almost every day).
I found a workaround by chance : if I click the mouse several times when 
this happens, then the screen turns on after a few seconds, and 
everything is still running.  Otherwise I have to reboot to get my 
display back.
I also use the ati driver and not fglrx, and leave my system on most of 
the time.
So maybe try this workaround ?
