Option to lock on minimize doesn't work

[Colan Schwartz]

In Extras -> Settings... -> Security tab, there's a checkbox option for "Lock workspace when minimizing the main window". I have this checked, but it doesn't work. I can minimize, unminimize, and then the window is not locked.

Due to Bug #49579 I suspect this will never work reliably; if it is important to you for your workstation to be locked, you should lock your workstation manually.

Thanks.

In regards to Seth Arnolds comment, Bug #49579 refers to locking the computer through the gnome screensaver. In keepassX, "lock workspace" seems to refer to locking the keyfile and requiring the user to re-enter credentials, as there is a button labled "Lock Workstation" in the main window that does exactly that.

Right now I think keepassx is inconsistent in how it refers to the locking function. I have seen "lock workspace", "Lock Workstation", and "Lock database", all which I assume refer to the same function. "Lock database" seems like the best descriptor to me.
