Comment 21 for bug 620693

I've followed this bug specifically due to natty 11.04 behavior. The screen does not lock after blank.

gconf settings:

lock > blank_screen is true
lock > use_screensaver_settings is false

The display blanks correctly at the time set in the G-P-M settings. However, the screen does not lock thereafter.

My workaround, while waiting on this bug, has been to enable the screensaver and its option to lock the screen. I will then set the screen to blank at 10 minutes and the screensaver to kick in/lock at 11 minutes. That leaves me with only 1 minute where I'm in this unexpectedly insecure state.

While testing, I've disabled the screensaver options (desired behavior) to focus solely on the blank/lock issue.

Any ideas Michael Terry?
