	First off, any damn webgibberish in email is *evil* (as well as a 
gross violation of netiquette, as you should know; on lists it's in 
general, it's worse; and on this one it's verboten.

	Just this once, however, if repeat *if* you mean what it sounds 
like, it's easy.

	The names differ slightly from release to release; in F9, F10, 
and other recent ones, you simply click Main Menu > System > Preferences 
> Look and Feel > Screensaver. (There are two. To be safe, do both.) In 
the bottom left corner, make sure Lock Screen After is *not* checked. 
This usually fixes it.
