only that I can confirm this is the case. It only seems to happen when using switch user. I'd call it a bug that's a feature. Some piece of code in the stack there is assuming that since someone else is using the machine, it'd better lock the screen despite the configuration to the contrary. I would wager this is a bug in whatever does the user switching as the screensaver is doing what it's told. I believe (without having time to test it at the moment) that you can force the screensaver to lock through it's control program despite the preferences being set otherwise. .02 A
