[Bug 855404] [NEW] "Lock screen after" setting in Screen is ignored

 

Public bug reported:

In the settings window, in the "Screen" preferences, there are very few
options, and even they don't seem to work. :-) One of them is the "Lock
screen after" option where you can select a delay before the screen is
locked and required a password to regain access.

I have this set to 1 hour.

But that setting is ignored. I haven't pinned down exactly how long it
actually waits for; it isn't immediately after screen turn off, but it's
only a few minutes longer, I think - and probably the default, whatever
that was.
