Thanks for the clarification - that's exactly what I expected. So Chrome/Chromium inhibits power management, not just the screensaver, therefore the dimming doesn't occur.

Both VLC and Parole inhibit the screensaver, not power management, therefore dimming still occurs (even after your patch).

So while this doesn't address the OP's bug directly it may be all we can do within the power manager directly. I would suggest we implement the power manager inhibition in Parole and the OP submits an issue against VLC.
