Richard Hughes, the author of gnome-power-manager, has written a bodge in the most recent version of Karmic gnome-power-manager (2.27.5) [1] to prevent screen blanking when using inhibit in gnome-session or xsync. Could you test it to see if it is now working properly (a daily liveCD of karmic should do [2])? Thanks in advanced.
