No other apps running. UpdateSystemActivity() definitively disables
dimming the screen for me (MacBook Pro C2D), regardless which constant
I use.
In the meantime I found a solution by using some IO... routines of the
Power Manager API in this old thread from 2005:

Either you are doing something wrong or you have another app keeping
your screen on, like quicktime or vlc.

You have to use IdleActivity, that's the one I use and it works.
Are you sure? I tried all constants, but all of them prevented the
screen
from dimming. But I _want_ the screen to dimm. I just want to
prevent the
computer from sleep, but dimming the screen is OK and allowed. But
none of
the constants did it that way. They all seem to combine sleeping and
dimming.
