Title:
  [Oneiric] Can't disable automatic standby (suspend-to-ram) on
  inactivity

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from Natty to Oneiric, my machine automatically goes
  into standby (suspend-to-ram) after 30 minutes of inactivity. While it
  wakes up without problems, this is still undesired behavior when I'm
  watching a movie, e.g. in VLC.

  So I tried disabling this in the control center, in the section
  "power". However, the setting "suspend when inactive for:" was and
  still is set to "don't suspend", but automatic standby is still
  happening.

  I have found bug #860485, but it seems there is another problem here.

  After reading the comments from that bug, I verified that
  gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac
  returns false.
  However, I noticed that sleep-inactive-battery was set to true and the associated timeout was set to 1800. I set this to false and 0, respectively, and this did indeed disable the unwanted standby.

  So it seems that even on my desktop machine the setting sleep-
  inactive-battery was used instead of the correct setting sleep-
  inactive-ac.
