What is this lock screen

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

Fedora 34
mate-desktop-1.26.0-1.fc34.x86_64

When I am in Mate, after a period of activity, I
get this annoying lock screen (if that is what it
is called).

https://ibb.co/5G7Qt73

I have set the screen saver to no lock and turned
power and hibernate off.

How do I rid myself of this annoyance?

Many thanks,
-T

That should have been "inactivity" not "activity"

I had a problem when the xfce screensaver was automatically activating
whenever I brought X up, even though I wasn't running xfce.  I changed
its settings, and that fixed things.  Perhaps you are having the same
issue with another screensaver?  What does 
rpm -qa | grep screen 
show?

Hi Stan,

I have both xfce and mate installed.  The issue only happens when I am 
in mate. I tend to stay out of mate because of it.

$ rpm -qa | grep screen

Figured it out.

I found the stinking screensaver had been set to lock
yet again.  I am wondering if updates are doing this.
I must have set the stinker to false 30 times now!

Me thinks I will set it to off in startup if it
keeps coming back.

My notes:

MATE: disable lock screen

You can go into the plug in
   --> System
     -->  Preferences
       --> look and feel
         --> screensaver
And turn off the lock screen,

OR from the command line (startup etc.)

Set:
    $ /usr/bin/gsettings set org.mate.screensaver lock-enabled

Query:
    $ /usr/bin/gsettings get org.mate.screensaver lock-enabled
    false

oops, that should have a false one the end

$ /usr/bin/gsettings set org.mate.screensaver lock-enabled false
