Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
This is using Gutsy Gibbon, release version.
Gnome power preferences can be configured quite
neatly from the within Screensaver configuration,
which is great.
However, no matter what settings, the screen still
turns off after a certain amount of time.
WORKAROUND:
gnome-power-preferences displays the same screen
as in the screen saver preferences.
The setting regarding turning off the screen is actually
saved in the root user's preferences and can be
accessed by running
gksudo gnome-power-preferences
FIX:
All power settings should be accessible to the user, IE
the root user's settings should not matter when not logged
in as root.
RELEVANCE:
When working around a buggy proprietary NVIDIA
driver implementation where turning off the screen
by ACPI means it doesn't turn on again, in my
case on a Dell Inspiron 2650.
