Public bug reported: In the settings window, in the "Screen" preferences, there are very few options, and even they don't seem to work. :-) One of them is the "Lock screen after" option where you can select a delay before the screen is locked and required a password to regain access.
I have this set to 1 hour. But that setting is ignored. I haven't pinned down exactly how long it actually waits for; it isn't immediately after screen turn off, but it's only a few minutes longer, I think - and probably the default, whatever that was.
