Bug Description

Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
Codename: jaunty

kde4-config -v
Qt: 4.5.0
KDE: 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2)
kde4-config: 1.0

Resuming from suspend-to-ram does not lock screen. This is a serious security problem in real life, where just opening your laptop cover will give the intruder access to the desktop.
I do not know if there is a setting somewhere that will change this, but screen-lock-on-resume needs to be enabled by default ASAP

Please note the following differing behavior:
1. Kickoff - Leave - Sleep == no locking on suspend/resume
2. Power Management Icon (on Panel) - Actions - Sleep == proper locking on suspend/resume

Works fine for me with Kubuntu 10.04. If this is still a problem with Kubuntu 10.04, please report this as a bug to bugs.kde.org.
