Public bug reported:
You can turn "Sreen Lock" off using gnome-control-center > Privacy >
Screen Lock : Off.
However, this is bad terminology because you screen will still go into
the exact same "Screen Lock" state upon an inactivity timeout, but the
only difference is that you don't have to enter your password to regain
access to the desktop.
While this accomplishes "not having to re-enter your password when
coming back from an inactivity timeout", I'm very dissatisfied with a
couple of behaviors.
1) After reaching an "inactivity timeout" that "locks" your screen, you
cannot unlock your screen by simply moving your mouse; you have to press
enter. I want to be able to accomplish this also by moving my mouse.
2) Even if you press the enter key, to come out of "lock mode", it takes
too long before you can interact with the applications you had open. I
expect this to be instantaneous! If I were coming out of a suspended
state, I could understand some delay. However, I'm not coming out of a
suspended state, I just coming out of a screen lock.
I do not like how this works. The whole purpose of this, as far as I'm
concerned, is to increase the lifespan of my display monitors. All I
want this to do, when a inactivity timeout occurs, is turn off all my
monitor, and the only delay I expect, when coming back to my desktop, is
what ever delay my monitor causes; the desktop should be fully available
even before my monitor starts to display the desktop again.
Having to press Enter and waiting 5 or 10 seconds before I can start
working is NOT something that anyone wants.
