Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
In GNOME Settings, the `Power > Screen Blank` drop-down list shows the wrong
value selected when the user has set a custom value from the command-line.
The custom value is added to the list of pre-defined time options, but then
the wrong entry is shown as selected.
This is only a visual bug as the setting isn't actually getting
modified.
[ Test Plan ]
* Open terminal and set a custom delay value (13 min in this case):
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 780
* Open GNOME Settings and click "Power"
* Verify that the "Screen Blank" setting shows "30 minutes" as the
pre-selected option.
* Expand the drop-down list
* Verify that the "13 minutes" entry is correctly sorted in the list.
[ Where problems could occur ]
The scope of the change is limited to the "Blank Screen" and the
"Power Button Behaviour" drop-down lists in the Power panel.
It should have no impact on the latter, which only supports a limited
number of options.
If a new bug were introduced, the two settings might stop working,
or at worst GNOME Settings may crash.
