My system preferences indicate to wait one hour before turning off the screen. This is a bug. As a workaround for this blatantly incorrect behavior, I have changed my lock command to the following: gnome-screensaver-command -l && gnome-screensaver-command -d This wakes the screen after a few seconds, so that my login screen stays on. The reason it is problem for the screen to turn off is that it often loses connection and will not wake up again. After locking the screen, sometimes I have to unplug the monitor's DisplayPort cable from the PC and plug it back in again. Otherwise the monitor will not show what the PC is doing, even though the PC is receiving commands and even allows me to (blindly) login. So it is imperative that the screensaver honor the user's system settings. This is a bug. Please fix the implementation. Thanks.
