In Ubuntu 13.10, the Brightness & Lock dialog lets you lock the screen after idle time of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 30, and 60 minutes. Is it possible to set a different idle time not shown in this list, say, 15 minutes?



(Frankly, it's silly to present only a few options like this.... Why not permit an arbitrary number of minutes?)

Please install dconf-editor (sudo apt-get install dconf-editor) and go to



org gnome settings-daemon plugins power



Click number besides idle-brightness and it will allow you to change it.

Speculation on my part: the lack of options in the GUI is to not make it too crowded and "experienced" users that need more refinement will probably know about dconf.
