[Launchpad Bug Tracker <859396@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

After setting a screen lock timeout of, for example, 1 hour the screen
still locks after approx 10 minutes.

Looking at the code it appears gnome-screensaver puts an upper bound on
the lock timeout of 480 seconds (8 minutes), so user preferences of 1
hour will not function as expected.

I see no reason for an upper bound of 8 minutes, and this contradicts
the available options anyway.

I have built a fixed version in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~andrew-
