Well, my monitor is used to turn off ( red power led ) when I let it "sit" at the login screen for long enough. ( that's GDM screen - by default, with Yellow Dog, its a blue screen with a yellow 'yellowdog' on it - thats where you input your username and password..) But when I let it 'sit' when logged-in it usually open screensaver ( green power led )

I said 'usually' because I recently installed BlackBox (from freshrpms - thanks!) and this one power-off my monitor (or isnt it 'sleep mode'?) instead of opening a screensaver. I guess all these things are all environment-dependent.
