Just as a guess, look at the user settings.

It really is obnoxious that "modern" desktops impose this "security" feature.  
It is generally unnecessary outside of a shared office (eg "cubical city") 
environment.

Back in the old days, screen locks were something that were started 
*manually*.  That is, when you got up from your desk, you would start the 
screen lock as you were leaving.  But I guess in today's world of self-locking 
car doors, people are no longer trusted to lock up after themselves...
