To boil down this "bug":
1 -If the screensaver is disabled entirely, the screen does not get
locked.
2 -If the screen is blanked before the screensaver starts the screen
does not get locked.
The first statement, I would assume is to be expected since gnome-
screensaver is the software responsible for locking the screen. If you
do not enable gnome-screensaver, you will not have the possibility to
lock the screen, that's a given.
But the second statement seems like an issue to me. I reproduced this on
the 10.04 Desktop without touching gconf directly.
Steps:
1) System > Preferences > Power Management
-Put display to sleep when inactive for [1 min]
2) System > Preferences > Screensaver
-Screensaver [Blank Screen]
-Regard the computer as idle after [3 min]
-[x] Lock screen when screensaver is active
3) Walked away for 5 minutes (screen turned off after 1)
4) Upon return, moved the mouse, screen turns on, no password prompt.
Workaround: Ctrl-Alt-L (lock screen)
Fix: I will escalate (for the second statement) to try and get this assigned.
