Thank for the comments. Now, I remember why I turned off the screen lock at my office. Because when I logged in through remmina (from home), if the remote X terminal screen locks on, then I could not login any more into my session. I had to kill it from another session. It is why I though that when I log remotely, there is probably an environment variable which has a different value (compared to a straight login). I could test this variable through a .bashrc and decide to active or not the screen lock. It looks like some thing which makes sense to me.
