Title:
  "Dim display when idle" does not respect idle time setting

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

  When the "Dim display when idle" option is enabled in the Power
  Management Preferences, the display will dim after a few, seemingly
  random, seconds. The help document for the Power Management says that
  the Screensaver Preferences are used to set the session idle time. I
  have that value set to 10 minutes. When I enable the setting and let
  my system sit idle, the screen has gone dim at the following
  approximate times:

  12 seconds
  26 seconds
  38 seconds
  78 seconds

  It seems that each time it waits for a longer period of time before
  dimming. If I reboot, it starts over with dimming at just a few
  seconds.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Go to System -> Preferences -> Power Management
  2. Enable "Dim display when idle". Click Close
  3. Wait and do not move the mouse or press a key.

  Expected result:
  Display should not dim until the session idle time, set in the screensaver preferences, is reached.

  Actual result:
  Display dims at random times.

  Reproducibility:
  Always, although the interval increases with each dimming until a reboot.
