Here's my scenario: I work from home, and want to authenticate when I boot my laptop. Since I'm always alone, I don't want the lock screen to come up, so I use the lock session option in g-c-c to disable the screen lock from activating automatically. When I leave the house, I want to be able to close my lid, suspend my laptop, and bring it with me, and I want it to ask for a password when it resumes.
When I disable the automatic screen lock in g-c-c, I don't want it to apply to when I suspend my laptop. This is the behaviour that Ubuntu had adopted before, and that got changed when Gnome 3 went in, and it caught users by surprise. (See bugs, #446191, #847814). Here is the upstream bug/discussion about it: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598118 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #598118 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598118 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869765 Title: Screen locked on lid close, suspend, user switch Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: If I suspend my laptop by closing the lid, I get a password prompt when I open it again. This doesn't occur when I suspend using the gnome-shell "suspend" menu entry. For information, this happens when running a gnome-shell session. I have disabled "lock screen" in the "screen" settings. This used to work perfectly until very recently (probably after one of my daily oneiric upgrades).
