Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Setting the gconf value /apps/panel/global/disable_lock_screen to true does not disable lock screen capability.

I think that the bug started to appear when Ubuntu switched to the new Quit dialogue.

There seem to be a lot off issues with the non-flexibility of the new logout dialog. This is another.

Thanks for your bug. That key is for the panel item, but maybe the gnome-session dialog should use it too

I have prepared a debdiff for Feisty, which is attached.

I will build it in a pbuilder chroot this evening and report if it works.

As my patch to add a global lockdown key was commited (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386864), we should use "/desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_lock_screen" instead of "apps/panel/global/disable_lock_screen".
