why aren't screensaver idle period and power management sleep try to talk to each other?

[Daniel LaSalle]

If I selected my screensaver to start showing after 10 minutes of inactivity why does power management unintelligently decides to leave it's display power saving to 5 minutes and shuts down my screens after 5 minutes instead of first allowing the screensaver module to do it's thing? Why doesn't the power management module instead defaults to values that are taking into consideration what a user as predefined under the screensaver preferences? After all, both the screensaver and the power management, from a desktop user perspective, should be part of the same "team".
