Hmm, it seems we were too aggressive with the lock screen protection.
It won't lock if you have autologin enabled.

It would seem like if you specifically ask it to lock, it should. On
the other hand, if you accidentally hit the menu item and you've got no
clue of your password, that's no good as well.

Thoughts? I'm leaning towards disabling the menu item with autologin.
