Admittedly, I don't use either GNOME or KDE, but I just changed the screensaver command to utdetach and I'm using xautolock to invoke a screen saver (utdetach in this case) after idle time. If I am reading a document at the time, all I have to do is re-authenticate and I get my session back anyway.....

Not sure this helps you in your case with GNOME, mind...

Michael,

Not sure if you are trying to disable the just disable the screen
locking or implement an auto-logoff feature. Which one is it?

Both: We don't want people to be able to lock the screen and walk away;
and, if they just walk away, we want the system to log them off after
some period of inactivity, rather than putting up the screen saver. (Or, if the screen saver comes up for a few seconds and then they get
logged off, that would be fine; maybe better, since it would provide a
warning for someone who was just reading a document, say, and not
actively interacting with the desktop.)

I looked into the gnome-screensaver-command idea, but found that on
Solaris the command isn't present.  There is xscreensaver-command which
fills more or less the same role, but doesn't work in quite the same
way.  I think I can still script up something, but it's going to take a
little thought and probably some trial and error.
