How do I stop the screensaver from locking the desktop? This is for my home
system and I'm the only one in the house. Obviously in a business environment,
I wouldn't want to do this, but in my own house, on my own PC, I don't mind.
:D
I've already tried going into "systemsettings" and telling it there NOT to
require a password to stop the screen saver, but that didn't work. I tried as
both the admin and the local user. :(
I'd like to get this done as it's annoying to walk away from my keyboard for a
few minutes and have to unlock it again!

If I go to system settings/display and monitor/screen saver and uncheck
"require password after" that takes care of it. If that's not working
for you then perhaps you are seeing the KDE wallet password dialog? If
that's the case open KDE wallet/settings/configure wallet and uncheck
close when screensaver starts.
HTH,

Hmm... I'll take a look at that. As I said, I did go into SystemSettings and
disable the password there, but it's still asking for a password after a few
minutes of inactivity. I like having a screensaver, I just don't want a
password. :D

Well, unfortunately that didn't fix the problem. In SystemSettings, the
"require password" is *unchecked* and in the wallet the aforementioned option
is also unchecked. *sigh*

Are you sure it is the KDE screensaver? I have had the Gnome one
running when I thought it was the KDE one. If you turn it off in the
KDE systemsettings does it appear anyway?

Yep. Let me see if I can find it in the Gnome settings.

Ok, that may have been it. I found that section and disabled the screen
locking. *sigh* IMNSHO, there ought to be ONE place you set that sort of
thing!

Just uninstall gnome-screensaver…
Now why it is starting in KDE at all, I don't know. IMHO that's a bug in
gnome-screensaver! It should only run in GNOME.

Well, I *like* having a screen saver, I just don't want to lock it. :D Anyway,

KDE has screen savers too. :-)
