You may be hitting this bug:

It looks like power settings are currently getting ignored. I'll also
add that it doesn't appear to be limited to just power settings. On my
wife's laptop all of her mouse/touchpad settings are being ignored as
well. This REALLY needs to get fixed. WAF is dropping rapidly. I may
have to downgrade her back to F15.

She was getting the Oh Snap problem ever time as well and the only way
I found to fix it was to "rm -rf ~/.gconf"

Thanks,
Richard
