Hi Andreas,

I found the stinking screensaver had been set to lock
yet again.  I am wondering if updates are doing this.
I must have set the stinker to false 30 times now!

$ /usr/bin/gsettings get org.mate.screensaver lock-enabled
false

Thank you for the command line method.  Me think
"start up" would be a good place to run it!
