I'm using Kubuntu 15.04 and the Plasma 5 system settings GUI has a very annoying (presumably artificial) upper limit of locking the screen after 99 minutes. Is there some alternative way to set this to any value I want?

I poked around my config files a bit and found a ~/.config/kscreenlockerrc file with contents

[Daemon]
Timeout=99

and was able to confirm this was the correct file by changing the 'Lock screen after' setting in the System Settings application (Desktop Behavior -> Screen Locking) and observing the Timeout value change. You can change this value to values greater than 99.

I also filed a bug against systemsettings: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350601
