Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

I recently upgraded to Karmic from Jaunty - Dell Inspiron 6400. The
problem I face now is that the Gnome power management's sleep timeouts
are behaving inconsistently.

I've set the display to sleep for 1 minute of inactivity. But from what
I've observed, it never goes to sleep after boot up. But if I later open
up power manager settings, re-select the 1 minute setting, and then
click the "Make default" button, display _sometimes_ goes to sleep.

I've noticed that /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/sleep_display_ac and
/apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout/sleep_display_battery keys are set to
60 in gconf-editor. But it's rarely honored.

FWIW, I've had problems with power manager and display even in Jaunty. I
had raised this bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
power-manager/+bug/377166), but that seems to have disappeared now; but
this one has come up!

I've tried by disabling the screensaver, but that didn't help either.

Please look into same; and let me know if I can give you logs/traces.
