Indeed.  I fixed my setting this morning by

gconftool -s --type=int /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout 120

It would appear that flipclock (or something else maybe) set this to a
full day's worth of seconds (84600)!  Seems like a silly thing to do
but maybe the author(s) had some reason for this...

Thanks,
