I have tested this with a second laptop and found that display
correctly turns off. The problem apparently only manifests on my
netbook.

Title:
  power management unable to put display to sleep

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A recent update appears to have broken gnome-power-preferences. It is no longer capable of putting the display to sleep after a specified period of inactivity.
  To reproduce:
  1. start gnome-power-preferences
  2. in tab "On AC Power" set "Put display to sleep when inactive for: " to 1 minute
  3. wait 1 minute (10 minutes, 1 hour, or several hours)

  What I expect to happen: display to switch off after 1 minute.
  What happens: display remains active indefinitely.

  This was working up until the last 7 days or so.
