Umm! if you think about the average user, even a stmt such as "As soon as computer is idle" isn't quite intuitive. For ex: If I'm playing audio, but not touching keyboard/mouse, is that idle or not? A better option might be to give an absolute range starting from 1min, but warn the user, if duration is set to less than Screen Saver time.

BTW, why's the max only 1 hour. On AC power, esp. with Desktops running on UPS, it's quite common to have sleep times around 4 hrs or so. I do this for my main desktop (running windows) as it's the file & print server for the laptops in use at home. The display shuts off in 10 mins, but the machine goes to sleep after 4 hrs.
