gdm: disable screen sleep

How do i disable screen sleep in gdm?

I've tried to set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'nothing'  but it the screen still goes to sleep after about 10 seconds after locking.

> sudo -u gdm gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type 'suspend'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-brightness 30
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power ambient-enabled true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'nothing'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 1200
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 1200
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power power-button-action 'suspend'

Any ideas?, nothing seem to work.

EDIT, i was able to fix this by recompiling the mutter PKGBUILD, and adding this code to prevent gdm from touching PowerSave:

sed -i 's#<property name="PowerSaveMode" type="i" access="readwrite" />#<property name="PowerSaveMode" type="i" access="read" />#g' ./src/org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig.xml
