Out of curiosity, why was idle-dim-time dropped, aside from it producing
the bug listed above? I'm wondering because idle-dim-time is a great
power saving feature that allows the screen to dim when the computer is
not in use for a given time, but it is not the same as the sleep-mode
timeout or the monitor powerdown timeout (idle-timeout under
com.canonical.unity.greeter or idle-delay under
org.gnome.desktop.session).

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish while on battery, and please tell
me if there's a setting in 14.10 that does this:

After 30 seconds of inactivity the screen dims to 30%. Any mouse movement 
activates the screen again.
After 5 minutes of inactivity the screen shuts down and locks the desktop 
(currently controlled by idle-delay)
After 30 minutes the computer goes to sleep

Is there anything that does this in Ubuntu 14.10, or should I create a
feature request to get this added back in?
