Still wrong with gnome-power-manager 2.22.1-1ubuntu4.

gnome-power-manager disables DMPS timers. Here is a fast way to reproduce the issue:

$ xset dpms 0 0 120 ; xset q | grep Standby
  Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 120

$ gnome-power-preferences
   [change "Put display to sleep..." setting, then close]

$ xset q | grep Standby
   Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
