The dbus SessionManager.Presence StatusChanged signal has nothing to do with idle timers. It is related to the ‘What are you doin?’ status on facebook, etc.

I can confirm, though, that the gnome-screensaver and gnome-power-manager situation is a disaster.

Right now, on my Lucid system, the screensaver doesn’t kick in. Yesterday noon it still did.
gnome-power-manager never seems to activate DPMS (hard to tell, though). And it’s dbus interface is crippled completely.

The UI side of the problem will never be bug-free until Screendimming, User-Idle, Screensaver and DPMS are configured together.
