Description Sam Morris 2011-04-24 21:34:41 UTC 
I've unchecked the box 'activate screensaver when computer is idle' but gnome-screensaver still activates.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2014-08-20 20:24:19 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.
