Bug Description
The 'Suspend when inactive for:' option under Power Settings does not work if the 'Turn screen off when inactive for:' option under Brightness & Lock is set to a greater time (or 'Never').
If 'Turn screen off when inactive for:' is set to either the same time or less than the 'Suspend when inactive for:' time, the computer will suspend as intended (the screen will turn off and then will suspend after the set time has elapsed).
What should happen: The 'Suspend when inactive for:' option should overide the screen turning off if the time is set to less than it.
I had my screen turning off set to 'Never' (which I think is the default?) and was trying to get the system to suspend for ages and couldn't work out why is wasn't!
