[K12OSN] Disabling Screensaver Lock on K12LTSP6

[Eric Harrison]

The change made for K12LTSP is to default to a blank screen saver, it 
does still lock by default.

Here is how I track these things down:

* I run gconf-editor
* Edit -> Find -> Search For:
* I chech "search in key names" & "search in key values"
* click through the results until I see the key name that I want. In 
this case it is /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled

If you are doing this for a single user, you can uncheck that box and 
you are done.

If you are doing this system wide, you can pop open a terminal and run 
this as root:

  gconftool-2 --direct --config-source \
      xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
      --type boot --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled 0


Now if you want to disable the screen saver completely, the key is 
/apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled
