I'm not 100% sure that this is the same problem that I'm experimenting, but I think so. When I turn on the computer and I log in, the display seems to go sleep when it is supposed to go. However, after a while, the display stops going to the sleep mode when it is inactive and I can see the same

This is not a solution, nor even a workaround. It's more a alternative for those of you who, like my self, cannot make a clean install of Karmic right now. The power manager tool from Xfce works pretty well. The version in the repositories still has this bug: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cg
