Did you select the "Make aware of power management" in the screen
saver
setup?

No, should I? The tooltip indicates that I shouldn't.

I have it selected here and my screen does power down, however I have
a
crt and not a flat panel, IIRC there used to be problems with some
flat
screens and power down but I am not 100% sure on that.

It does not hurt to have it ticked anyway.
