Setting turn off to "Never" might fold to "1 minute", but its effect is even worse - the screen starts to dim immediately after every mouse move / keystroke (as if the timeout of 0 was taken literally).

Adding it is very easy, as we just need a new item in the combo box and gnome- settings-daemon already knows what to do if the timeout is 0 (which is what we would map the new item in the combo to). But we need to add a new string to the UI that doesn't have an existing translation in g-c-c itself (although it's present in other packages, like evolution-3.2, aptitude, cups, glade3, gnome-disk-utility, gnome-user- share, nautilus, and a whole lot of other places). So asking for permission to translation and documentation teams, and for the best way to include this new translation.
