I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and despite using 'gnome-power-manager' to set dpms_method_ac to 'off' for backlight, the screen will not enter standby after set time.

Also, "Put display to sleep when inactive for:" (via System->Preferences->Power Management) is already set to 1 minute.

Interestingly enough, this only happens when I am logged in. When I am logged out, the screen does go into standby after set time. So I know it's not the screen...

Any idea how make Ubuntu 8 screen saver enter screen into standby, while logged in?
