SUMMARY
I think most people associate screen power saving with screen locking and it may not occurs to some that these are actually separate things (see screenshot of both sections)

Options I can think of (not all are good):
* Merge these 2 sections
* each can link to the other via a looking for Screen Locking/Power management/screensaver button
* insert each into the other (this seems redundant)
* show both screen locking and power management when searching for either

1 would not make sense, 3 is not easily possible, but 2 and 4 could be done.

Mockup

The implemented fix isn't what I was after. I made a mockup here what I want to see. 
I compiled master and I'm not sure where I'm supposed to see the previous changes.
