I think he means that if you are logged in on a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1 e.g.) you
can change to that console although the system actually must be locked and if
you have rights on the account which is logged in in this console you can do
everything (also killing the screen saver).
I tested it and it was possible to login and kill the screen saver.
If you lock screen in gnome you should be logged out on the terminals or the
terminals should be locked, too.
