Dimming the screen turns the backlight down, and blanking turns the
screen off, which happens a set time after the screen has been dimmed.
I think I understand what you mean in that: Although the put display to
sleep after is set to 1 min, even without keyboard or mouse activity it
takes a minute
Would you say that this was fixed, it's a little hard to understand. Can
anyone confirm if this is still an issue in Lucid, as I am not seeing
this behaviour. Thank you.

This is fixed, and has been for some time. For dimming the screen, it
uses purely IDLETIME (which comes from the X server and resets on
mouse/keyboard events). For blanking the screen, it uses an internal
timer which starts when the screen dims, and will blank the screen after
a period elapses
Everything I reported is against Lucid, fully updated at the time of the report.
Chris: can you please clear the terminology on dimming the screen and
blanking the screen? BTW I still see the problem of the notebook LCD
un-dimming/backlight going back on for no reason.

Simple test:
1) Unplugged external keyboard and mouse to avoid interference.
2) Set Put display to sleep when inactive for: to 1min.
3) Time for display to go off with some applications open: 2:34min.
4) Time for display to go off with all applications closed: 1:12min.
So, the CPU or something
It's hard to confirm/debug this issue because timeout isn't respected
most of the time.

Ok, a simple experiment doesn't seem to confirm this bug exactly.
1) I set up the put display to sleep when inactive to 1 minute.
2) Leave the desktop idle with the programs (I'm using) open (firefox, pidgin,
hgtk, gnome-terminal, etc): it takes 3:34min to turn off display.
3) Leave a
BTW, the screensaver timeout is precise. In exactly 1min the screen
starts to fade out.

It seems the display is never turned of if there's a window with urgency
state! (blinking on the taskbar)
Screensaver kicks in normally.

Actually, I don't believe this is an issue any longer. Would you be able
to see if this affects you in Lucid with a Live CD, as I have tested
this and it seems ok. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue
for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 9.04? Thanks in
advance.

I think the problems are way deeper than lack of intuitiveness. Most or all of
the problems described in

in Intrepid.
Fundamentally, if there's a bug, it's that the g-p-m put display to sleep
