lol... I think i spoke too soon!  Oh.. the irony ;) 
Just while i was filing a bug for the gpm wrongly displaying a notification 
area icon , the screen blanked ;)

I lock the screen because gpm does not turn off the monitor > bugs 415589
For me , Locking the screen turns off the monitor after the set time.

So now , the notification area icon appears if i unlock the screen after
10mins saying "Session... "

But if i Unlock the screen before 10mins , it does not show the notificaication 
are icon.
The last time i unlocked before 10mins , the screen blanked at around 
10-12mins. I tried it again , to unlock before 10mins but it didt happen 
again...

But the notification area icon is constantly displayed if screen is
unlocked >10mins and not earlier.

So this maybe a xorg problem and not a gpm problem since several are
reporting it as fixed.
