Checked around the same problem as well, here is what I found:
* Lockdown Editor (Package pessulus) is a "family" friendly tool
(sitting on System->Administration->Lockdown Editor when pessulus is
installed) which allows to configure "disable Lock Screen" in gnome
screensaver (beside others user interface configurations). This is much
more intuitive for the "family" than digging into gconf stuff.
* In German the "Lockdown Editor" is called "Benutzerschnittstelle" (=
"User Interface") which is an even more "family" friendly name in Non-
admin land (maybe something to think about).
And most important:
* As far as I understood Hugo and Robert, however, above is only a work-
around and I totally agree.
A use case for family sharing computers is also:
- If I wanna lock, I do
- If I switch to another user for whatever purpose,
I don't want to lock automatically,
since I'm switching back in most of the cases soon
So what would be needed here is another option beside
"disable_lock_screen", named something like
"disable_lock_screen_on_user_switch" and this should really be
changeable efficiently in the user switching menu.
Possiblities when lock_on_user_switch is disabled and wanted
exceptionally:
Case 1 (clumsy)
* Lock Screen
* Do UserSwitch from Lock
Case 2 (fast)
* Have a field to tick in the switching menu, setting lock_on_user_switch
* Do UserSwitch from the same menu afterwards
That's it
I hope, expressing wishes is OK in this wishlist bug-report.
