Public bug reported: If "blank screen" is activated in the power settings, as soon as the screen is blanked it's impossible to unblank it: the screen stays black, with the mouse cursor visible. You can even move the mouse cursor, but the screen stays black.
However, running "DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-shell --replace" from a console fixes the problem.
