[Discuss] time out and request for password

[Ron De Beck]

Hi Yuri,
  Not sure if this might be related.
I think I installed xscreensaver-gl and
think if you have it installed it could
be Preferences-Screensaver check
the status of tickbox for "Lock screen
when screensaver is active " 

or one of the random screensavers 
is a lock screen...I don't see it on my 
current list but I remember having 
an issue once upon a time.

Good Luck
