Does it work for you with Gnome as well?

I just use stuff straight out of the box without reconfiguing the power managment.

MC uses these commands for power management on linux

--- Code: ---XResetScreenSaver(GetJRUI()->GetDisplay());
--- End code ---
// keeps the screensaver from activating.

For disabling the monitor shutoff IF DPMS is supported:

--- Code: ---DPMSDisable(GetJRUI()->GetDisplay());
--- End code ---
// disables monitor DPMS

Also MC will run this conditionally

--- Code: ---XSetScreenSaver(GetJRUI()->GetDisplay(), 0, m_nInterval, m_nPrefer_blanking, m_nAllow_exposures);
--- End code ---
// 0 as the second arg disables the screensaver. The other values are the default which the ScreenServer returned as its defaults.

The setting of these are logged.
