Comment 10 for bug 381116

Richard Hughes, the author of gnome-power-manager, has written a bodge in the most recent version of Karmic gnome-power-manager (2.27.5) [1] to prevent screen blanking when using inhibit in gnome-session or xsync. Could you test it to see if it is now working properly (a daily liveCD of karmic should do [2])? Thanks in advanced.

"There's no bug in gnome-power-manager, and I suspect gnome-session somehow triggers this bug. There's a full writeup in http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/07/30/accidental-blanking-and-gnome-power-manager/ but I've got next-to-no help in debugging gnome-session or the XSync alarms stuff. "
