What's it all about, Alfie?

While I like Ubuntu 12.04 a lot, the lock screen on the screen saver is a little too much authentication for me. It's a laptop, and it's on my desk, so it's not going anywhere. But I couldn't find an easy way to get rid of it. Until this morning. Yeah!

Turns out it's a simple preference command:

  $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false

And with this run once, the screen save is still active, but when I hit a key to wake it up, I don't have to type in my password to see the desktop. Nice! This is a really nice desktop linux system - in addition to being a great server platform. Very impressed.
