Thanks William. I goofed up and put the report in the wrong place.

Title:
  gnome-screensaver locks after approx 10 minutes  even if user settings
  are specify longer

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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-
