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) -----------------------------

I think maybe GDM starts the lock screen, not the user session. I think you need to set /org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay=0 in dconf to turn it off. When I use something other than Gnome3, I switch my DM to lightdm (available in EPEL), and I've found it tends to run the non-gnome3 environments along expectations. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>

I know I used to know, but right now cannot recall the proper incantations.
