Are you sure you're not hitting the GNOME power management blank screen timeout?

This is different than the gnome-screensaver timeout. -- gnome-screensaver doesn't follow setting to increase blank screen interval https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501518 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
