I just stick with the default, which should be no
automatic lock. If somehow your default has been changed,
here are some suggested ways of changing it back:
1) In Gnome you can use Main Menu --> Preferences -->
Screensaver. From there you can uncheck "Lock Screen After...".
2) For just yourself if you have .xscreensaver in
your home directory (and you may not until you've done
Main Menu --> ...) you can edit the file to have line
"lock: False" instead of "lock: True".
3) For all accounts which don't override it with a
.xscreensaver file, you can as root replace "*lock: True"
with "*lock False" in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver
4,...) For more ideas, "man xscreensaver".

I cannot remember how to disable the automatic lock of the current
session when it is inactive for some time.
Sorry, I did not tell you that I was using Gnome not Kde.
I would like to know how to disable this function by editing some config
file, if possible.
Thanks anyway.
