I make that as follows (after a little experimentation on shr-t a few days back):

Listed in order that the events occur, with my personal preference for timings

1. idle (30 secs) - the important one, how long before initial semi-dim
2. idle dim     (1 sec)     - slightly darker dim
3. idle prelock     (1 sec)     - display blanked
4. lock (0 sec) - locked (i think this should be immediate that the display is blanked to prevent accidental actions) 5. suspend (60 sec) - one minute further before suspending so that if I just missed it i don't have to hit the screen and then go "huh?" before remembering to hit the power button.

hope that helps

Last nights upgrade of shr-u packaged got me very short timeout times for the various stages of dimming and suspend, again. Five seconds until dimming is way too short for any useful activity. Please set the default timeouts to something more sane.

Why does the upgrade interfere with my settings, in the first place? Is this deliberate?

BTW, the order of timeout variables in the list Settings->Power seems is not quite natural. Currently, it is 1 Lock
        2 Idle
        3 Idle prelock
        4 Idle Dim
        5 Suspend
        
If I understand the times correctly, it should be:
        1 Idle Dim
        2 Idle
        3 Idle Prelock
        4 Lock
        5 Suspend

While at it: Please make sure, the times are always consistent. A prelock time shorter than lock is an error and should be automatically corrected.
