Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
When the "Dim display when idle" option is enabled in the Power
Management Preferences, the display will dim after a few, seemingly
random, seconds. The help document for the Power Management says that
the Screensaver Preferences are used to set the session idle time. I
have that value set to 10 minutes. When I enable the setting and let my
system sit idle, the screen has gone dim at the following approximate
times:
12 seconds
26 seconds
38 seconds
78 seconds
It seems that each time it waits for a longer period of time before
dimming. If I reboot, it starts over with dimming at just a few seconds.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to System -> Preferences -> Power Management
2. Enable "Dim display when idle". Click Close
3. Wait and do not move the mouse or press a key.
Expected result:
Display should not dim until the session idle time, set in the screensaver
preferences, is reached.
Actual result:
Display dims at random times.
Reproducibility:
Always, although the interval increases with each dimming until a reboot.
