I have tried studying the phenomenon a bit more. Maybe the problem is actually that gnome-power-manager doesn't respect the settings in dconf. My current settings are given by: $ dconf dump /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/ [/] button-power='interactive' critical-battery-action='shutdown' idle-dim-time=60 sleep-inactive-ac-type='blank' sleep-inactive-battery-timeout=300 lid-close-ac-action='blank' idle-dim-ac=false idle-dim-battery=true idle-brightness=30 sleep-display-battery=180 lid-close-battery-action='suspend' sleep-inactive-ac-timeout=600 use-time-for-policy=true Even though it is told not to dim on ac "idle-dim-ac=false" it does so and even tough sleep-inactive-ac-type='blank' it suspends when the battery timeout is reached. I will try to experiment more. I am now trying to reset and then configure all the values using dconf command line tool and not dconf-editor. Lets see how it goes. Thanks! Gennady.
