Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.22.1-3
Severity: important
The 'Put display to sleep' timeout is not applied after re-logon.
1. Open 'Power Management Preferences' dialog.
2. Change 'Put display to sleep' timeout value.
3. Close the dialog.
4. Logoff and logon to a new GNOME session.
The timeout is not effective in the new session--the display is put to
sleep after the default timeout (of 20 min or so).
Sleep timeout should be saved properly across the sessions.
It's very annoying because it happens all the time when you start
watching a movie. The timeout is hit after ~20 minutes. >:-(
It suffices to open the dialog once and close it for settings to take
effect (even w/o touching the timeout values).
I first reported it here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558838
This also might be a sign of a problem in totem movie player: shouldn't
it disable monitor/system sleep during the playback like it does with
screensaver?
