Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
All settings I refer to here are gconf settings relative to /apps/gnome-
If the value for timeout/
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_
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.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GNOME Power Manager is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance.
