I was having the same problem with the ubuntu 9.04 64bit version.
A couple of tests and lots of patience, and was easy to confirm that both gnome screensaver and power manager were the cause of that annoying blank screen.

First, i don't use the gnome screensaver so I disabled it. I prefer the power saving method (energy and equipment saving, beats fancy effects).

I'm really a newbie and after some research, I made my first script, thinking in something like the *.bat files of old MS-dos.

Execute in console

Code:

gedit xbmc.sh

Insert the next lines in the editor and save it

Code:

#!/bin/bash
killall gnome-power-manager
xbmc
gnome-power-manager
exit

Execute in console

Code:

chmod 777 xbmc.sh

In the icon I have for xbmc I changed the command to this script and everything is working fine.

By the way: in gnome power manager I have monitor going off after 11 minutes and computer never going to sleep.
