I am also having this issue, neither gnome-power-manager nor the
gnome-screensaver will activate as X seems to not be idle.
I cant remember it not working until recently when I came home from work to see
my PC awake and burning in my monitor.
The computer seems to try to sleep but gnome-power-manager reports X as
not idle and wakes the system back up.
Also activating the screensaver using the command posted above activates
the screensaver and manually putting the display into sleep by DPMS
works also.
I am reopening this bug on that basis.
** Changed in: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Confirmed
