Description Giedrius Slavinskas 2011-03-29 09:34:02 UTC
Description of problem:
After the latest update I've got behaviour that screen goes blank in a few (~5) seconds of inactivity (no mouse movement and keyboard touching). If I go back from blank screen and wait for another 5 seconds it repeats all over again. 

This behaviour does not have any relation with the screen lock option found in the system settings. I can turn off screen locking or set to 1 hour, it doesn't do any difference.

Killing gnome-screensaver saves me from blank screen, but it is not a cause of the problem. The status indicator of gnome-shell turns to away anyway.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Don't move mouse and don't press any key for five seconds
2. Screen goes blank

Sorry, for a false alarm, it seams that it was not a bug.

I've found that org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay was set to 5, so
changed back to 600 and its ok now.

But this issue left some questions: why changing screen lock delay in the system settings does not affect idle-delay, which is not configurable in the GUI (at least I was not able to find it), and how it could happen that org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay was set to 5 seconds?
