to update gnome-power-manager on my 9.10 system : I downloaded gnome-power-manager 2.30 from here http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Tools/GNOME-Power-Manager-3684.shtml
unpacked the tar- sudo tar xvf gnome...tar.gz after installing dependencies one at a time (ouch) sudo ./configure sudo make sudo make install on restart, there is no more flickering :) I don't know if this is the best way to solve this, but it seems to be good for me -- session active, not inhibited, screen idle message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/423694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
