I found that a nuisance as well.  I've disabled the lock screen.  You 
can use configuration editor (desktop->gnome->lockdown and then check 
disable_lock_screen).  If you don't have configuration editor enabled in 
the main menu, you can find it in /usr/share/applications or run it as 
gconf-editor from the commandline (easiest).  I'm sure there are more 
geeky ways of achieving this ....
