Bug Description
I set the desktop to automatically login a user. After several minutes of no activity, the screen locker locks the screen, demanding a password to unlock, which is annoying. The user can always reboot to get around that.
When automatic login is in use, screen lock should be disabled by default. As a sub option to automatic login, could have an option to turn screen locking on. I still want the computer to go to sleep after 10 or whatever minutes of inactivity (and watching a video does not count as inactivity!), I just don't want any locking.
As it is, I find the fastest way to stop screen locking is to uninstall light-locker. I have tried fiddling with the settings, but sometimes you think you stopped the screen lock, only to find out some time later that you didn't, that there's more than one way to trigger screen lock. Such as, if the user chooses to log out. Removing light-locker is the surest way to stop it all.
