I'm aware this can be done via the GUI screen - but can this be done via the command line or via some configuration editor?

Here is the gui way (via the "screen" or "brightness and lock" application):

Disable the GNOME Settings Deamon's power plugin from the command line:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power active false

Alternatively, using dconf-editor from the dconf-tools package:

For the screensaver:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver idle-activation-enabled false

Or again via dconf-editor:
