Alberto Salvia Novella (es20490446e) has assigned this bug to you for gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu:

DESCRIPTION
*************

By default, Ubuntu is configured to make the monitor become blank after
ten minutes. No option is given in the control panel to stop this
behaviour.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
*********************

1. Go to Control Panel \ Brightness and lock.

2. Set the screen time to switch-off to never.

3. Switch-off your mouse.

4. Wait ten minutes.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
**********************

Nothing to happen.

REAL BEHAVIOUR
*****************

The screen goes blank.

WORKAROUND
***************

Configure  Control Panel \ Brightness and lock to  switch-off the screen
after ten minutes, so if it going to do so the screen brightness will
become down gradually before and the user will be capable of manually
stopping the screen from going to blank by moving the mouse.
