Public bug reported: I have discovered that the screen-saver doesn't ever come on (i.e. to blank the screen) while the computer is sitting at the login screen.
I have googled and found various methods of changing display settings for the login screen, such as background wallpaper, although many of these apply to older versions of Ubuntu. The most relevant thing I found was instructions for using running gconf-editor as lightdm user, and editing unity-greeter settings. However there were no unity-greeter settings that I could see to control screen-dimming. The screen-saver is an important energy-saving feature.
