Public bug reported: Just updated to the latest quantal today and then tried to watch a movie in Totem. Screen powered off every 10 minutes, reliably. Tried setting the power save to 'never', or to '1 hour', tried it with auto screen lock on or off, screen always powers off after 10 minutes exactly.
