Bug Description
GNOME Settings has two Screen Blank controls and only one of them works.
Expected
Screen Blank controls should preserve the values you set them to.
Actual
One of the two Screen blank controls does not preserve the value that you set it to.
Version Info
$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu Kinetic Kudu (development branch)
Release: 22.10
Codename: kinetic
$ gnome-control-
gnome-control-
$ dpkg -l gnome-control-
1:43~beta-1ubuntu2
Reproducing
1. Run gnome-control-
2. Change "Screen Blank" from the current setting (e.g. 5 minutes) to a different value.
3. Change to another panel (tab) and change back to Power. (e.g. change to Audio then back to Power)
4. Observe that your Screen Blank setting has reverted to the prior value (e.g. if you set it to "never" it will return to 5 minutes).
5. Change to the Privacy panel, then to the Screen panel.
6. Change the setting for Blank Screen Display to a different value.
7. Change to another panel and then back to Privacy->Screen.
8. Your change to the value of Blank Screen Display will have been retained (will be the same as you set it a moment ago).
9. Change to the Power panel and the Screen Blank setting that you selected will be displayed there too.
