Tried it (set timeout to 1 minute in the GNOME CC). Didn't shut down...

Gotta check that... but I can't right now as I don't have a fallback
machine in case my laptop should hang.
I did have weird effects with APM in the past. Like I got my laptop
set so it only switches of the display when I close it, which
(reproducibly) causes it to show a pure-white screen when I open it
again. Gotta vts from a remote machine (IIRC) to get it back to
normal.
