Ah, I now see the problem. There are two different settings: Switching
off the screen after a certain time (that is what you set with "Put
display to sleep when inactive for" and uses hh:mm values) and "dim the
screen when idle". The latter setting does not care for the time you set
but uses a standard value of 10 seconds. You can change this value using
gconf-editor ( /apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/idle_dim_time ). I
agree that this is not user-friendly and apparently also against what
the documentation says. This has alread been reported as bug #513468,
I'm therefore marking this bug as a duplicate.

"Dim display when idle" does not respect idle time setting
