Hi guys, I've installed 14.04 and I have a similar problem. The screensaver
delay is fixed in 300 seconds (5 minutes).
I'm doing a sort or desktop lock-down and I've fixed various properties using
dconf and it's locks, but I had no luck with the screensaver delay.
The key is: /org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay and I can change the value
and lock it, from the gui and from a profile in /etc/dcon/...
In any case the session becomes idle in 300 seconds, , it seems to me that the
screen saver uses the default value defined in the file:
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.session.gschema.xml
The parameter definition is:
<key type="u" name="idle-delay">
<default>300</default>
<summary>Time before session is considered idle</summary>
<description>The number of seconds of inactivity before the session is
considered idle.</description>
</key>
As I understand, when the session become idle the screensaver starts, so
actually the delay is not a screensaver's property, it is a property of
the session.
Any ideas if this is correct? maybe it is a bug or am I watching the
wrong parameter?

Title:
13.10: screen does not turn off after x minutes of inactivity
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I've just upgraded from Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10. All is apparently
working fine except the screen that does not turn off anymore after
the time defined in "turn the screen off after xxx minutes". I saw
that a similar bug was opened (#1228939) but is now considered as
fixed. Indeed my bug is a little different: the option is correctly
saved, but not applied. It seems, I'm not the only one to face this
problem. I haven't found this bug in launchpad, except the closed one
just mentionned.
