Bug#977882: gnome-core: Gnome does not switch off the display when (power saving -> blank screen) is enabled

[Christian Britz]

Package: gnome-core
Version: 1:3.38+2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: cbritz at t-online.de

Dear Maintainer,

I enabled "blank screen" in the power saving options after 12 minutes.

The display only goes dark and locked and the mouse pointer is still visible
after the 12 minutes, but never switches off the display, what I would have
expected.
Running "xset dpms force off" manually works as expected.
The lock screen stays permanently visble when a notification has been
displayed.

Maybe it is worth noting that I run gnome and gdm with X.org, not wayland.

Regards,
Christian
