Under "org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power", try changing
"sleep-display-ac" and "sleep-display-battery".  

I have my screen going off after 30 minutes and these are set to 1800.  
Now I went to System Settings (from the upper right hand corner in 
gnome-classic, or you can just run gnome-control-center) and chose 
Screen.  After changing that to 5 minutes, the values in the 
dconf-editor are now 300.

I guess you can just change the settings in gnome-control-center, 
without bothering with dconf-editor. :)
