Different timeouts for battery and ac mode to lock screen?

Hi, is it possible with latest Arch/Gnome to have different settings for things like:

- screen lock
- close lid
- time out
...

depending wether the laptop runs on battery or is plugged in? It's really annoying to e.g. reenter password every 5 minutes of inactivity when plugged in at home, but when I'm around I'd like to have it that way, or I don't want it to suspend when power is connected ;-)

Does this help?

Edit: If i remember correctly, some things can only be changed with gnome-tweak-tool now.

As far as I remember, these settings can be changed with dconf-editor. I don't remember the exact path though.

I found this before, but it's outdated (still refering to Gnome2)!

Edit: If i remember correctly, some things can only be changed with gnome-tweak-tool now.

There's exatly 1 thing that can be configured from gnome-tweak-tool:
"Function of the powerbutton"

Below is written: "If lid is closed" without any options ?!? Don't know what this means, but my powerbutton is inside, so I can't press it when the lid is closed

As far as I remember, these settings can be changed with dconf-editor. I don't remember the exact path though.

Searched several times now without success!

Thanks! Strangely enough it's not at the same position here. I find it at:

org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power (close though ).

But still this has no effect on the screen lock, which is much more annoying!

Any more ideas?
