Public bug reported: My son likes to sneak computer time, and one way he does this is to continually turn the screen lock off when he earns a little computer time, so he can get on later if his mother or I don't notice, or manually lock the screen when we stop using the computer.
Maybe there is a way to do this with the present setup, and if so, I'd love to know what it is. So far the only way that I have been successful is to chmod og-x gnome-control-center, and then I can't open the settings from the menu bar widget. This might work for me, but not for my wife.
