The bug was updated because of standard triage not developer interest.

If I were you, I would apologize for wasting the developers' time and
close it. I have just installed Karmic and it has exactly the same
screensaver setting (and Jaunty, Intrepid, Hardy, ... probably had it
too); a five-minute grace period is almost too long from a security
perspective.

By the way, a bug is "the common term used to describe an error, flaw,
mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program or system that
produces an incorrect or unexpected result, or causes it to behave in
unintended ways." An easily-changed Gnome setting does not qualify as
a bug.
