Package: gnome-power-manager Version: 2.26.3-1 Severity: normal Hi,
The current state of g-p-m is hard to describe, but I thought I it would be best summarized in this bug. - When "dim display when idle" is set, the computer actually dims the display when idle and trigger the DPMS setting (the default one shuts the screen off, and it works now, as opposed to g-p-m 2.24.4-3 from Unstable) when supposed to. The bug is the display sometimes stays dim, and sometimes it just take a little longer to revert to default brightness (like a minute or two later than supposed). - When "dim display when idle" isn't set, the computer also activate the screensaver but the DPMS setting is never applied: the screen remains lit even though it isn't supposed to. I think that's actually two different bugs that have already been reported, but they both show in this version, and under different circumstances now (I may be wrong though). All the tests were done on AC power, and I couldn't run g-p-m in verbose mode because it threw me the following error: ~$ gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon TI:18:51:39 TH:0x8ddb158 FI:gpm-main.c FN:main,231 - This program cannot start until you start the dbus session service. This is usually started automatically in X or gnome startup when you start a new session.
