Bug Description

To disable the password box after suspend-to-ram or suspend-to-disk, it was possible to edit, using gconf-editor, the fields /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/{suspend,hibernate}, but it does not work anymore in karmic (it still asks the password).

It worked in a previous version (I tested this feature in intrepid if I remember).

Re-assigning to indicator-session. Suspending from the session applet doesn't involve g-p-m anymore, so it isn't responsible for locking the screen in this case

I was able to acheive a resume from suspend without the screen getting locked.

I did this by using "gconf-editor". I went to "Desktop-->Gnome-->Lockdown" then checked the box for "disable_lock_screen"

I'm still suffering this in maverick.

If use 'Indicator Applet Session': Resuming always get locked no matter what changes in gconf-editor > /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/ were made

If use 'Shut Down...', laptop lid, keyboard's sleep key, etc.: Works as expected following the settings in gconf-editor > /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/
