I think this affects me too on latest Karmic since my screen backlight never goes off even though I have set gnome-power-manager to put it to sleep after 5 minutes - running latest Karmic updates on NVIDIA 9600M GT with proprietary nvidia-glx-185 drivers installed from official ubuntu repo. Any chance the xorg patch can be applied since at the moment this is a serious regression from Jaunty as now my laptop backlight is never switched off.
