You did try this while connected on AC power, right?

Sorry, should be more explicit:
just uncheck - clear the check mark from the square on the left.
(there are only 2 options true or false - checked or unchecked)

One more question:
You mentioned your sys is upgraded (not clean install). Did you by any chance enabled root account sometime in the past?
I suggest you try this:
Alt+F2 --> type: gksu gconf-editor --> inspect all relevant key we talked about:
/apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled --> should be unchecked
/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/blank_screen --> should be unchecked
/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/use_screensaver_settings --> unchecked
/apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac --> should have value "blank", you can try with "nothing" also.

Regards
