Strange thing just began happening this past weekend with my Centos-7
netbook (using the MATE desktop, which may mean it's an EPEL problem...).
the lock screen checkbox in the screensaver's UI is NOT checked.
I've even used the dconf editor to uncheck ALL the boxes in the
screensaver section that relate to locking the screen.
nada. no such luck.
even after rebooting, it still locks the screen.
I'm open to further suggestions, thanks in advance!

I just realized that it's not the screensaver. I find the lock screen is up whenever it comes up from standby (and I think a fresh boot, though I've not tried to reproduce that yet.) Since I put it in standby a lot rather than shutting it down, I see it a lot. and it just started. I've looked at the power settings and don't see anything there that look as if they would account for it. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." ------------------------------ Matthew 7:21 (niv) -----------------------------
