The screensaver allows choosing the time it launches itself with a 1-minute precision. But in mate-power-preferences, there are only 6 options for putting the display to sleep (1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, Never).
If I wanted, e.g. to launch the screensaver after 15 minutes of inactivity, and turn off the screen after 16 minutes (1 minute later), I can't.
Since we are talking about computers and not about toys, I think that the GUI should not artificially restrict the available configuration options. It is even simpler to put a widget for choosing a number of minutes instead of a combobox with only some predefined values.
Expected behaviour
The GUI allows to choose inactivity timeouts with at least 1 minute precision.
