I can confirm it as well. How I solved the problem was I went into gconf-editor (alt-f2 and enter gconf-editor), the go to apps, then to gnome-power-manager, and then I disabled lock_on_blank_screen, lock_on_hibernate, and lock_on_suspend. This disables screen lock, which is only a shoddy, temporary solution, but hey it works. Hope this helps.
