I had great success getting rid of the lock-screen on resume by
unchecking the "suspend" line in gconf-editor -> gnome-power-manager->
lock. So no more frozen OS after a closed-screen initiated suspend. But
now when resuming from suspend, it brings up an options dialogue to
shutdown, suspend, etc. the computer, with a 60 second till automatic
shutdown message. I can live with this, but do you or anyone know what
setting in gconf-editor to change to make this go away?
