Bug Description
In Lucid, the session idle timeout is set to 5 minutes--the shortest possible timeout allowed by the Screensaver preferences--by default. This value should be set to 30 minutes instead to lower the frequency with which the screensaver activates, and the screen locks itself, when user is attending to the computer but not touching the keyboard or mouse.

I disagree with this. I do not see why it should be more than the bare minimum, for two reasons:
- Security. Screen locking is good.
- Power management: turning off the screen is good. Furthermore, the gnome-power-manager timeouts kind-of depend on the gnome-screensaver timeout, I think.
