Title:
it is not possible to suspend the display before locking the screen
Status in Gnome Powermanager:
Expired
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
since all timeouts in power management can only be set to values
larger than the screen saver activation time, it is impossible to have
the screen blanked without locking it if one still wants to lock it
during a longer absence. It should be possible to set those times
independently, in fact I see no good reason for linking them the way
they are. When my laptop is on battery, I typically want the screen to
switch off to conserve battery, if I haven't pressed a button for two
minutes or so (about the time it takes to read what is displayed on
the screen in reasonable font size). But I don't want to have to type
in a password every time I look away for slightly longer than those
two minutes. However, I still want the screen locked if I'm actually
away for some time (say 5minutes or more).
This is on up-to-date 8.10
