Reading the changes from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
screensaver/3.6.1-0ubuntu10 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-
design/+bug/878836, it looks like the unity-greeter is now being used to
implement the lock screen (not gnome-screensaver), so unity-greeter is
blocking the power off. Hence I suspect like the bug should be assigned
to unity-greeter.

The bug is very easy to reproduce: just manually activate the lock
screen. Or wait for the screen to power off and then show the lock
screen by pressing a key or moving the mouse. In both cases, the screen
no longer powers down.

I would classify this bug as high or critical, since manually activating
the lock screen is considered a high-use function (witness the recent
design decision to implement super-L as a lock shortcut) so if it can't
be fixed it would be better to revert the change until it works
properly.

Title:
  Lockscreen doesn't turn off the screen

Status in Unity:

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  The new Unity lock screen doesn't turn off the monitor screen.

  I can wait as long as 10 minutes after activating the lock screen and
  the monitor still doesn't trun off. Then when I unlock the screen and
  don't use mouse or keyboard monitor will turn off (it's about 5
  seconds after unlocking).
