Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

With the latest update for karmic, my laptop (sony vpcw115x) screen will
not go to sleep after a specific period of time.

I've tried the following combination of times and none of these will put
screen to sleep:

screensaver time  >  put screen to sleep time:
"Session active, not inhibited, screen idle..." message will show in the 
notification area when screen sleep time reached and when screensaver time 
reached, the screen will turn dark, then return to normal(no screensaver)

screensaver time == put screen to sleep time:
The screen will turn dark, then return to normal (no screensaver)

screensaver time < put screen to sleep time:
When screensaver time reached, the screen will turn dark, then return to 
normal(no screensaver) and "Session active, not inhibited, screen idle..." 
message will show in the notification area when screen sleep time reached

The problem does not exist on a fresh installed copy; it only appears after the 
updates. Tried the command 
"xset s [timeout]" the screen is able to sleep when screensaver is not set to 
be active or the time is longer than [timeout]; however, if the screensaver 
time is shorter than the [timeout] the screen will not sleep either.
