Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.24.4-2
Severity: normal


In response to bug 536653 against gnome-screensaver I updated xserver-xorg
and associated packages to the versions from unstable and now the screen
gets blanked after the correct amount of idle time however DPMS power
saving is not activated.

What make it obvious that this is not happening is the power light on my
monitor does not change, there is a glow from the monitor and if I press
a key the display re-appears instantly without having to wait for the
tube in the monitor to warm up.

The automatic dependency list does not give versions of gnome-screensaver
or gnome-session but in case there is a subltle interaction between them
they are as follows:

gnome-screensaver: 2.26.1-2
gnome-session:     2.26.2-1
