Bug#599647: gnome-power-manager settings are ignored when gnome-screensaver is not installed

Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.30.1-1
Severity: normal

If gnome-screensaver is not installed, the screen is disabled after
approximately 10 minutes regardless of the gnome-power-manager settings (never,
or much more than 10 minutes).
The ten minutes delay might be somehow linked to the x-settings, from xset -q:

Screen Saver:
  prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
  timeout:  600    cycle:  600


I noticed that installing gnome-screensaver and restarting my session seems to
solve the issue, but I don't see gnome-screensaver  in the dependency list for
gnome-power-manager.

Please feel free to ask if any complementary information is needed.
