It also makes no sense having the screen go blank in a virtual machine. And yes, I find the attitude of the gnome devs astonishing as well. There are a stack of features that used to be in gnome2 but are missing from gnome3, and their response is always, "It's that way by design so we won't even consider fixing it". The trouble is that their design only considers a small range of workflows. Thank god for Unity, which fixes the biggest limitations of gnome3. (If not, we'd have to follow Linus' lead and move to Xfce or something: http://digitizor.com/2011/08/04 /linus-torvalds-ditches-gnome-for-xfce/)
