Bug Description

When setting the time for display to sleep, the lowest the slider moves is 11 minutes. This is a problem for those of us on a battery who need it at around 5 minutes.

Actually, the lower limit is screen-saver timeout + 1 minute. Perhaps it should be documented around the slider, but if you want it set to 5 minutes, change the timeout for the screen-saver.

Being that I have not touched the screensaver settings and they are at the default, it is a bug because the user should not have to configure an entirely separate dialog just to configure another dialog.
