Idea #13875: Fix "Gnome-Power-Manager" with Muti-Displays (TwinView)

bug This entry was marked as not being an idea the 30 September 08. If this is a bug report, please use the Ubuntu bug tracker.
Written by BassKozz the 30 Sep 08 at 03:51. Related project: Gnome. Status: Not an idea
Rationale
Using Ubuntu 8.04.1 (up to date)
I have a dual-monitor setup and in the past I was using "Separate X-Sessions" for each monitor. I recently switched to "TwinView" and now my monitors won't go into sleep (power saving) state. I've tried changing the settings in System>Power Management>Display> "Put display to sleep when inactive for" but no matter what I set it to (for a time limit) it NEVER goes into sleep mode. I've left the computer on for hours on end, and they never go into sleep. But when I switch from "TwinView" to "Separate X-Screens" the monitors go to sleep right on time, EVERYTIME.

p.s. I am NOT using Compiz (don't know if that makes a difference or not).
System>Preferences>Appearance>Visual Effects = NONE.

p.s.s. Also bug report filed at Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554247

Sorry, but that's not an idea : Brainstorm is a place for ideas only!
Launchpad is the place for it, and it seems you already filed a bug there.
