I believe the problem is with the Screensaver Preference Panel and not the Power Manager.

On the Screensaver Preferences.. 'Activate screensaver when computer is idle' Button when switched OFF, does not seem to work.. so beneath, where it states: Regard the computer as idle after: 5 minutes -- is still set for 5 minutes.

xset q | grep -A 2 "Screen Saver:"
timeout: 300

I have set my idle to 600 --10Hours

even then my timeout returns 28800 for some reason..(maybe there is a limit)
