	Alan & Colin posted links to bugs for your issue, but on a 10.4 machine 
I had, I wanted to increase the time beyond the 1 hour the GUI gave me. 
I don't recall where exactly, but I went into the Configuration 
Editor(gconf-editor) and cranked up the time there. I think the time is 
in milliseconds? (600=1 hour)
	IIRC, the key is /apps/gnome-power-manager/timeout. Not sure if this 
works/exists in Onieric, but it may be a starting point.
