I use mythbuntu 10.04 frontends and they sleep and unsleep perfectly.
At my parents, I installed a mythbuntu 11.10 frontend and it sleeps
only when I am not watching a video but it eventually gets into a deep
sleep where the screen never wakes up requiring me to power-cycle the
box.  On my ubuntu 12.04 laptop running unity, the screensaver will
kick in when I am watching videos.

My approach is to stick to 10.04 for myth frontends since it has been
the best release for me so far.  If you are stuck with 12.04 though,
you might want to try the mythbuntu forums that are at
