Bug#718019: gnome-control-center: Offer user access to X settings to control screen timeout

[Carlo Marchiori]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.4.3.1-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the 'Turn screen blank when inactive for...' setting alone is totally useless
when actually the X server has its own settings, that can be manipulated only
through configuration files or command line commands (like xset).

The user should be given real control on the behaviour of her/his computer.

Thanks,
Carlo.
