Proposed package in lp:~robert-ancell/gnome-control-center/bug-928645:
- The screen panel doesn't show in Unity (but shows in GNOME)
- The functionality is added to the display/power/user panels
- It matches the design, and this means some functionality is no longer accessible:
  - dim screen option
  - lock screen delay

We're not going to deliver this for 12.04 as the patch is quite complex, g-c-c already has too many patches and upstream has not agreed to the changes as they are currently. The combination of these three makes the patch very expensive to maintain. We should revisit this for 12.10.

Is upstream averse to the change at all, or the implementation?

Mark, you can read most of the discussion on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653015

There is some need for extra discussion and maybe some disagreement on the design but also valid technical concerns it seems, that's something we should better keep working on and iterate to improve and reach something which work for everybody
