[Bug 994754] [NEW] Xscreensaver locks when it should not

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have removed gnome-screensaver and replaced it with xscreensaver, and
am trying to prevent it from locking my screen when my laptop's screen
turns back on or when it wakes up from being suspended. Even though the
"Lock Screen After" box in xscreensaver's setting is unchecked, the lock
will still pop up and demand a password when I open my lid. The expected
behavior is, of course, to not have that occur.

The system settings have also been set to "Do nothing" when I close it
(and indeed, gnome-screensaver obeyed these settings just fine when I
was using it). Often after I restart the computer xscreensaver acts as
it should for a while, but eventually the problem will crop back up.
I've noticed no pattern, save that when it does start doing this I can't
seem to make it stop.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 (though this also occured in 11.10). I'm also not
alone I think, see: http://askubuntu.com/questions/95295/how-to-prevent-
screen-locking-when-lid-is-closed

Thanks!
