That second time being the delay, because on my *older* system this is
how it worked:

  x minutes to blanking the screen, then
  y seconds after blanking it, lock it, then
  z minutes later, power the screen down

The order of which makes good sense - blank it, then lock it shortly
afterwards, then power it down a bit later.  The first two time periods
were set via a brightness and lock control app, but I have no idea where
the third time period was set (none of my system settings thingummies
have options pertaining to it).  

I'm wondering if you expect it to be doing something different than what
it's actually meant to do.

It seems quite daft to lock the screen first, then a long time
afterwards blank it.  Because a locked, but unblanked screen, isn't very
private.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
