A quick workaround that I use in Lucid when I want to leave my laptop
running overnight but want the screen off immediately:
1. Click power management applet and select Preferences
2. Select Put display to sleep when inactive for: 1 minute
3. Wait 1 minute.
4. Activate the screen again as normal,
Confirmed in Ubuntu 10.10, laptop Dell XPS 1530 with nVidia video card.

Title:
[Lucid] Laptop only remains DPMS
I confirm this bug for Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid, laptop HP NX7300 with Intel
video card. When I kill gnome-power-manager, it seems to work.
So, should I just replace gnome-power-manager by xfce-power-manager?

I think (but I'm not an expert on this) that the situation that I reported may
be related with this bug:

Though it isn't the same problem, it seems to be the same cause.

[Lucid] Laptop only remains DPMS off for 2 seconds
I don't think the problem here is the screensaver.
This problem started after GPM stopped using HAL.
Since then, I've been trying to understand how to avoid this. I read many
opinions. I also tried disabling gnome screensaver. But, nothing solved the
problem.
So, I just gave up.
I removed GPM
I noticed know that maybe my previous comment concerns a different problem.
The problem I was referring to is the following:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/431146
If it is not the same, please feel free to remove my previous comment.
Sorry for the confusion.
I disabled Gnome screensaver and power manager and returned to xset. Now
all media players can automatically disable screensaver when playing
videos. In fact, this bug was useful to me;)

Nikil's python script doesn't work here; perhaps using gnome-
screensaver-command -i isn't the solution. Running xset dpms force
off with a 2-second delay in an infinite loop is the only way that
works for me.

I wrote a cheesy python script that appears to work without looping.

Right so not much has been done on the bugzilla report for what I can
see... anyone figured out a workaround? Other than a script that
loops...
Thanks!

1. This problem still exists.
2. It appears that the origin of the problem is gnome-screensaver. By
either inhibiting the screensaver (gnome-screensaver -i) or outright
removing the gnome-screensaver package, this problem goes away. Why
that is, I have no idea. Monitoring dbus after issuing
The same problem is on Dell 1520 (Intel GMA), latest Lucid, amd64.
Those workaround scripts are bad jokes. Triggering DPMS-off in an infinite
loop (until you press CTRL-C) does not solves the problem.
