No.  Everyone sees them.  I cannot reproduce the gnome-screensaver
problems on any of my machines.  And I don't have a machine with fully
working power management to test backlight stuff.  I don't have any
suggestions, either because I have not seen these problems.  Maybe some
of the upstream GNOME people have some ideas of things to try.
