I recently installed Fedora 21 on another computer using the "Fedora Xfce spin" and have been unable to find a menu item permitting me to stop it from requiring re-entry of my password after several [I haven't counted them] minutes idle. I was able to disable the screen saver but this problem is even more annoying.
Certainly there must be a file I can change to fix this? Or perhaps I am not looking at the right settings menu. Any suggestion appreciated.

screensaver option/preferences? uncheck the box that says "lock screen when screensaver is active"

You might also ask at the official Xfce forum, http://forum.xfce.org and see what they have to say.

OK, that does it. I couldn't see that item since it is grayed out when you select "disable." I changed that to "Blank screen" and was able to disable the lock screen, or at least I checked the box.
Thank you.

Yes that's a good source. I subscribed to it in the past and found it helpful but XFCE usually works without a hitch and I needed to reduce some of the e-mail messages I was getting.
I found the right menu item after Paul's message, I didn't see the gay text item. Sorry for the noise.
Tnx,
Bob

Please take another look at the link. It's not a mailing list, it's a web forum. (Notice the word "forum" in the url?) I don't know if he's still active, but for a long time one of the Xfce Core Developers was a regular there.

Sorry, I misread that, I saw what I was familiar with rather than what was written. I'll make a note of it but I usually choose mailing lists where available, my preference I guess.

*Shrug!* I use both, being a regular on two Fedora forums as well as this mailing list. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.
