Hi Rui,
I've tried your suggestion but it didn't work for me. I forgot to mention that 
I'm using GDM 2.16 (and not 2.30 or newer as in F13) where gnome-power-manager 
doesn't seem to be running when the user is not logged in.

How does the screen go blank with earlier versions of gdm?

Regards,
Alexander.
