The actual need is IMHO not to brute-force disable the locking mechanism
for all users, but allow to remove need for password for a subset of
(passwordless) users, like guest.

The need is choice for *all* accounts: allow the user to decide whether
to lock the screen when switching sessions. Like it used to be. (So
indeed disable locking is not the solution, nobody claims this.)
Locking the session when 'fast user switching' with living-room PC's is often
unwanted:

Checked around the same problem as well, here is what I found:
* Lockdown Editor (Package pessulus) is a family friendly tool
(sitting on System-Administration-Lockdown Editor when pessulus is
installed) which allows to configure disable Lock Screen in gnome
screensaver (beside others user
FWIW, if you disable locking the screen entirely for the accounts, then
it will not lock the screen when switching users anymore.
Open 'gconf-editor' (e.g. with Alt-F2) and go to /desktop/gnome/lockdown
and check disable_lock_screen .
This will entirely remove the ability to lock the screen
Thank you, Hugo! Your workaround will become useful for Lucid.
I am still on Karmic and my workaround so far was to train my family to
use Ctrl-Alt-Fx for switching if possible. This also helped with
Karmic's missing fast-user-switch.
