Comment 12 for bug 270781

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009020410 Fedora/3.0.6-1.fc10 (CK-IBM) (CK-IBM) Firefox/3.0.6

The screensaver lock option doesn't work anymore after a while.

After a normal startup/reboot, screen locking works fine, but after a while (I don't have a precise time or action) it doesn't work: screensaver works, but no password prompt is provided (it behaves like "Lock screen when screensaver is active" is unchecked).
