Yesterday I thought to try the Configuration Editor in the GUI under
System Tools. (Properties gives the command as gconf-editor.) Under Apps
it has an item for gnome-screensaver, but none for xscreensaver (whose
command, acording to Properties, is xscreensaver-demo).

So, being very irritated with the locking, I tried that. It does have an
item for "lock-enabled" -- which was checked on the irritating machine,
and not on another that wasn't doing it. So I unchecked it.

That seems, so far, to have done what I wanted. The difference in names
makes me a little uneasy, though. Have I set a trap for myself somewhere
down the road? Or is there a confusion of names for one app in FC6??
