I've see that one before.  I have a 21-inch HP P1110 CRT monitor that
won't go to sleep, but the screen saver turns on just fine.  However, my
Sharp 19-inch LCD monitor goes to sleep flawlessly.  I also have an
Optiquest 19-inch CRT that goes to sleep as it should, but that has
another issue specific to X11 and start-up (there's a delay of 2-3
minutes before X11 starts, depending on the X11 version).

Note that it has nothing to do with whether you're running KDE or GNOME.
I see the above behaviour regardless of which desktop I'm running.
