I'm going to be away, but I want to make sure the information is here on LP on this bug:
From the author of gnome-power-manager, Richard Hughes:

"There's no bug in gnome-power-manager, and I suspect gnome-session somehow triggers this bug. There's a full writeup in http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2009/07/30/accidental-blanking-and-gnome-power-manager/ but I've got next-to-no help in debugging gnome-session or the XSync alarms stuff."

From fedora's bug report:

"Comment #66 From Peter Hutterer 2009-08-11 00:26:46 EDT -------

seems to be a problem with the X server. on an F11 box, running
xorg-x11-server-1.6.2 reproduces the problem (with the test program), running
master doesn't.

Unfortunately bisecting from 1.6 to now is a dependency hell, I haven't found
the culprit yet.

------- Comment #67 From Peter Hutterer 2009-08-11 02:55:13 EDT -------

bisected to commit 57aff88c7d0761e590806d07bee1c9410680c89f in the X server
tree.
Note that this commit _fixed_ the bug (accidentally too, I suppose).

Moving over to the server. "
