Bug Description
Platform: amd64
In the 9.04 Alpha 3 install I had kept upgrading there was a way to set the screensaver idle timeout in a dialog (enabled/disabled, idle timeout, etc). If you set the idle timeout to X, you could then specify, for instance, a "put monitor to sleep" time of X+Y.
In the beta, fresh install, I see in Applications > Other > Power Management that you can still set the X+Y time for post-idle events, but I don't see a place to set the idle timeout X or disable gnome-screensaver's idle timer. Also different from the alpha, there is an Applications > Settings > Screensavers menu that lets you set the current screensaver, but not any other settings.
Workaround: Install gconf-editor and manually tweak the settings you care about.

I want to say this was a side effect of the transition to Xfce 4.6 that the xubuntu developers did, but i'm not positive. It is awfully confusing now I agree.
