If you don't want to have to unlock it, don't lock it in the first place. Just use the screensaver in "no lock" mode. Go to Settings->Desktop->Screen Saver, select Start Automatically After X mins, and unselect the box beside "Require password to stop". The screensaver will activate after the time you set. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
