removing gnome-screensaver doesnt change any of the behavior and since the fade process is handled by gnome-power-manager i started suspecting a clash between X dpms and g-p-m dpms functionallity ... either uninstalling g-p-m *or* setting xset -dpms in a terminal window fixes the issue here, the screen properly fades to black after a while .... since someone above noted that unsetting "undirect fullscreen windows" fixes it too, i would assume that this plugin somewhat interferes with dpms settings.
