Comment 15 for bug 869765

> Could you describe your user scenario? Do you use autologin or enter a password on boot? In which case do you want to see the screen locked and which cases not?

My laptop is used all-day long for work. When I start working on the morning, I log in through GDM with a password. Then I start working... When I need a pause, or just don't need my laptop for a while, I just suspend it (whether by closing the lid, through the menu, or by letting it idle for long enough). When I come back, I don't want to be bothered with the password (I work alone at home). Then, when my day of work is finished, I log out (or even shutdown) so that my session can't be messed up by anyone until I start working again the next morning.

I understand it might be an uncommon scenario, and that's why I like the fact that GNOME has an option for that.

Now, I would understand perfectly if, for simplicty sake, this was made not to be configurable, but, then, here are the things that would be needed:
 - The lock session option in g-c-c should be removed
 - The password should never be asked when auto-login is used
 - The password should always be asked when auto-login is not used
 - Auto-login should work flawlessly in lightdm, gdm, xdm etc... (in Oneiric, GDM auto-login didn't work...)

And, more importantly, that's the kind of thing that should ideally be discussed and fixed upstream ;)
