This problem affected me initially in 9.10, but not anymore. In my case I did:
- open gconf-editor (no sudo / root)
- navigate to /apps/gnome-
- disable lock_on_hibernate
- disable lock_on_suspend
After this the screen would still get locked after a suspend, so I googled to here:) When I used the suggested command (sudo gconf-editor) I found the 2 boxes were still checked. Apparently the gconf settings are different for different users. Unchecking these 2 boxes again resulted in no screen lock after suspend!
Strangely now only the gconf user setting affects locking, the root setting can be set to 'lock->yes'.. If I kill the gnome-power-manager and restart it as root, the gconf root setting does affects the presence of the screen lock after suspend. So for you it might have something to do with the per user setting, but I don't know if this is the case for everybody:)
