screensaver doesn't work, idle time on the gui resets itself to 'never'

[Timo Aaltonen]

 dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay
uint32 180

but the gui still shows it as 'never' and the screensaver doesn't turn the screen off in 3min as supposed to. Changing the value from the gui does change the gsetting, but after closing the gui and coming back it's again set as 'never'.

of course the screensaver started to work after filing the bug, but gui is still broken
