Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.26.3-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
The current state of g-p-m is hard to describe, but I thought I it would be best
summarized in this bug.
- When "dim display when idle" is set, the computer actually dims the display
when idle and trigger the DPMS setting (the default one shuts the screen off,
and it works now, as opposed to g-p-m 2.24.4-3 from Unstable) when supposed to.
The bug is the display sometimes stays dim, and sometimes it just take a little
longer to revert to default brightness (like a minute or two later than
supposed).
- When "dim display when idle" isn't set, the computer also activate the
screensaver but the DPMS setting is never applied: the screen remains lit even
though it isn't supposed to.
I think that's actually two different bugs that have already been reported, but
they both show in this version, and under different circumstances now (I may be wrong though).
All the tests were done on AC power, and I couldn't run g-p-m in verbose mode
because it threw me the following error:
~$ gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon
TI:18:51:39 TH:0x8ddb158 FI:gpm-main.c FN:main,231
- This program cannot start until you start the dbus session service.
This is usually started automatically in X or gnome startup when you start a new
session.
Traceback:

Cheers.
