What Richard ment is that g-p-m doesn't dim the screen with software.
GNOME session and the screensaver actually fade the screen by *DRAWING*
the screen dimmed so it looks that it or the parts of it look like
dimmed. G-P-M *really* dims the screen,i.e. it reduces the power of the
backlight of your laptop. The idea behind is to use less battery power.
Its in no way related to the eye candy of gnome-session or the
screensaver. It can never use XComposite for diming since g-p-m does
diming in hardware not software. Closing INVALID
** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
