A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my display (Fedora 13) was not
sleeping. At the time I had been hacking at the Android emulator, and I
think it does something to prevent the display going to sleep, but after
I exited both Eclipse and well as the emulator, the display still would
not sleep.  It did after a reboot. I wanted to see if it was something
in Fedora 13 or Eclipse/Emulator. The screen saver was working and my
Kilauea shots were coming up. So it is either that the emulator is
somehow turning the power save features off by design or inhibiting them
by accident.
