Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
All settings I refer to here are gconf settings relative to /apps/gnome-
power-manager unless fully qualified.
If the value for timeout/sleep_display_ac (in seconds) is less than that
of /desktop/gnome/session/idle_delay (in minutes) then the screen is
blanked before the screensaver is activated.
gnome-power-manager offers gconf options, described in its manual, for
causing the screen to be locked when the screen is blanked. This can in
theory be set by enabling lock/blank_screen or enabling
lock/use_screensaver_settings if /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled is
set.
The problem is that neither of these settings appear to work. As a
result, if the screen is blanked before the screensaver starts, or if
the screensaver is disabled entirely, the screen does not get locked
when blanked. These settings do not appear to behave as described in
the manual.
The manual also describes that power management timers begin only after
session idle, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. power
management timers now appear to start immediately, independent of
session idle_delay. This documentation should be updated.
