Set get org.mate.screensaver lock-delay to 0 by default

[davidhedlund]

Expected behaviour

Should lock itself when the screenssaver is turned on.

Actual behaviour

Does not lock itself when the screenssaver is turned on.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Open mate-screensaver-preferences (Settings > System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Screensaver)

• "Lock screen when screensaver is active" is already enabled

Test 1

• Set "Regard the computer as idle after:" to 1 minute
• Idle until the screensaver gets fully activated, then move the mouse pointer after: 45 seconds (set a timer). The lock screen doesn't show up.
• Idle until the screensaver gets fully activated, then move the mouse pointer after: 60 seconds (set a timer). The lock screen shows up.

Test 2

• Set "Regard the computer as idle after:" to 2 minutes
• Idle until the screensaver gets fully activated, then move the mouse pointer after: 45 seconds (set a timer). The lock screen doesn't show up.
• Idle until the screensaver gets fully activated, then move the mouse pointer after: 60 seconds (set a timer). The lock screen shows up.

Thank you very much. That's why the delay is 60 seconds for me:

gsettings get org.mate.screensaver lock-delay
1

• I guess that the lock delay should be set to 0?
• Also, there's no lock delay setting for the screensaver in the GUI:

The default is 0, it should be because other configurations have modified lock-delay, using grep -rin lock-delay/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

Also, there's no lock delay setting for the screensaver in the GUI:

At present, lock delay can only be set through gsettings set org.date.screensave lock-delay 0

You've been very helpful!

grep -rin "lock-delay=1" /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/10_mate-common.gschema.override:92:lock-delay=1

Also, there's no lock delay setting for the screensaver in the GUI:

At present, lock delay can only be set through gsettings set org.date.screensave lock-delay 0

For security reasons, I think this should be visible in the GUI. I change the title once again to solely focus on this.
