One course of action would be to use an add-on like exteditor,
by which you can use an editor of choice for composing your emails.
Obviously an editor without this SelectAll hotkey facility would be
preferable, like emacs for example. I wonder whether it would let
you use gedit (emails are always small files) or geany, which
I think you've used in the past.

[PS to Gene: just wondered whether you meant to reply only to
me on the subject of screen locking, rather than to the list]

Cheers,
David.
