This is not needed for 10.10 or 11.04, as those have redefined the
timeout/sleep_display_ac key to be a timeout *after* the screensaver
determines the system is idle. So you can't hit this bug anymore, as
the screen will never blank when the system isn't idle.
This is also not needed for 11.10, as GNOME 3 has completely changed the
keys used. The lock/blank settings seem to work from my testing. Thus,
I'll mark this Fix Released.
For the 10.04 SRU, the justification is that this is a bit of a security
concern: users could set their system up to lock after blanking and
expect that when the screen goes blank, they can safely walk away.
To test:
1) System > Preferences > Power Management
-Put display to sleep when inactive for [1 min]
2) System > Preferences > Screensaver
-Regard the computer as idle after [5 min]
3) gconftool-2 -t bool -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/blank_screen true
4) Wait for screen to blank after 1m
5) Wiggle mouse, note that screen was not locked like step #3 would have you
believe
** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu)
