Comment 16 for bug 620693

I could not find other relevant gconf changes. And besides, the LiveCD reproduction, while reproducable, isn't helpful. The Lucid LiveCD has the RUNNING_UNDER_GDM environment variable set, which disables screen locking.

This variable was not set in my actual installation. I did think that maybe autologin would affect things (maybe there was a bug where autologin turned on RUNNING_UNDER_GDM). But that's not the case. I can't reproduce with autologin either.

So I'm back to square one: trying to find a way to reproduce this.
