Description Michał Gołębiowski-Owczarek 2010-04-15 23:10:30 UTC 
Regardless of what one sets in Power Management settings, the screen blanks (and locks the screen) always after up to 5 minutes of inactivation. Killing the gnome-screensaver process restores behaviour set in preferences.

It is really annoying and this bug exists for a long time (checked in Ubuntu Karmic and Lucid).
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2014-08-20 20:23:21 UTC 
The screen lock is now implemented directly in gnome-shell, not in
gnome-screensaver (as it was with older version of GNOME 3 and GNOME 2.x).

If the reported problems persists in recent versions of GNOME, please file a new bug against gnome-shell with the "lock-screen" component selected.

If your installation is an older version of GNOME that cannot be upgraded (such as an enterprise version), please use the appropriate support mechanism from your vendor, or your distribution instead.
