Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
In Ubuntu 10.04, the gnome-power-manager seems to have no effect on my laptop. I am running my Toshiba laptop with an external monitor and the laptop LCD disabled. I've set the gnome-power manager to turn the screen off after 10 minutes (the time is actually irrelevant), but the screen will never turn off. It doesn't matter if I have the screensaver set to activate or not. It also doesn't matter how much time I tell the manager to wait before powering down the monitor. The monitor stays on no matter what.

Additional Info:
I noticed that when I set the power monitor to put my monitor to sleep, that after the appropriate time has elapsed, a new icon appears in the indicator area. When I move the mouse to see what it says, it immediately goes away. After having looked through the icons in the default Lucid theme, the icon is the view-full-screen icon. The screen is not being powered down, but it would appear that there is an event of some kind happening in correlation with the time that I set the monitor to power down.
