OK. I just wanted to make sure it was indeed a bug before I did that.

That's an oversight. I suppose a minimized XBMC should let Windows handle power saving of the display.

Slightly different question:
Can be XBMC let windows do the power management, when XBMC is idle ?
Now after predefined idle period XBMC blacks the display. What I would prefer is to have display turned off, to save electricity.

XBMC has it's own setting that will shut down the display when idle, but it only works if XBMC is running fullscreen. Check under settings>system>power saving>put display to sleep when idle. Of course you can also have XBMC go even further and shut down or suspend the system when idle too.

Unless there is a formal bug report posted on TRAC, it may get overlooked. I looked back and see you made a ticket. It doesn't appear anyone has picked it up yet.

Nope. You did the right thing. We just need to wait for a developer to pick it up.
