Public bug reported: A recent update appears to have broken gnome-power-preferences. It is no longer capable of putting the display to sleep after a specified period of inactivity. To reproduce: 1. start gnome-power-preferences 2. in tab "On AC Power" set "Put display to sleep when inactive for: " to 1 minute 3. wait 1 minute (10 minutes, 1 hour, or several hours)
What I expect to happen: display to switch off after 1 minute. What happens: display remains active indefinitely. This was working up until the last 7 days or so.
