This is already set to False :(

The screensaver does *not* default to locking, but it seems some power
management daemon is calling "xscreensaver-comand -lock" and when you
explicitly ask it to lock it will.

I'm not sure this is what's happening, but it does appear to only lock
after teh screen has gone to sleep and the xscreensaver-demo config
shows locking is disabled for this user (the box for timeout is not
selected).
