[Bug 43026] screensaver usability is horrible with lock screen enabled

[Graig Smith]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

OK this is not a bug, but it's a very annoying usability problem.

when watching movies, if lock screen while screensaver is active is
enabled if you don't move the mouse within 3 or so seconds when the fade
out happens, you have to type in your password.

It makes watching movies very annoying, so annoying i actually disabled
the locking action.

You should be able to set when it will lock, or it should wait a little
bit longer after engaging the screensaver before it actually locks the
screen.  Say 30 seconds.  that way if you are watching a movie you don't
have to keep putting your password in every 5 minutes.
