I might be a bit naive here, but couldn't you simply always lock the screen on suspend in Unity is being run, and always respect the "lock screen" option if a gnome-shell session is being run?
In all cases though, I agree that the screen should never be locked if autologin is activated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869765 Title: Screen locked on lid close, suspend, user switch Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: If I suspend my laptop by closing the lid, I get a password prompt when I open it again. This doesn't occur when I suspend using the gnome-shell "suspend" menu entry. For information, this happens when running a gnome-shell session. I have disabled "lock screen" in the "screen" settings. This used to work perfectly until very recently (probably after one of my daily oneiric upgrades).
