Even when "Dim only, don't lock" slected, screen is locked

[plr@…]

When entering the Power Menu by pushing and holding the power button for a few
seconds, Power Management has three options:

1.Dim first, then lock
2.Dim only, don't lock
3.Disabled

When selecting #2 the screen dims after 10sec and then also locks after 50sec.
which was unexpected.

#1 works the same as #2.

Same here: dim, don't lock (dims after ~10s and) locks after ~40 secs from the last operation.

From my experience, I think that this is simply a poorly worded dialog. It seems that the actual options are intended to be:

1. Dim, lock, then suspend
2. Dim, lock, but don't suspend
3. Minimal power management*

Personally, I am okay with those options, as long as the dialog is worded correctly.

• Note that (3) does not dim the screen, but the screen backlight goes off after a while.
