Hi guys, I've installed 14.04 and I have a similar problem. The screensaver 
delay is fixed in 300 seconds (5 minutes).
I'm doing a sort or desktop lock-down and I've fixed various properties using 
dconf and it's locks, but I had no luck with the screensaver delay.

The key is: /org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay and I can change the value 
and lock it, from the gui and from a profile in /etc/dcon/...
In any case the session becomes idle in 300 seconds, , it seems to me that the 
screen saver uses the default value defined in the file:

/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.session.gschema.xml

The parameter definition is:

    <key type="u" name="idle-delay">
      <default>300</default>
      <summary>Time before session is considered idle</summary>
      <description>The number of seconds of inactivity before the session is 
considered idle.</description>
    </key>

As I understand, when the session become idle the screensaver starts, so
actually the delay is not a screensaver's property, it is a property of
the session.

Any ideas if this is correct? maybe it is a bug or am I watching the
wrong parameter?
