Gnome auto logout

I upgraded to Fedora 12 a few days ago and it seems that my X session is timing out after an idle period. Where can I change the settings or disable this behavior which was not happening on Fedora 11?

Thanks.

Paul

Hi Paul, welcome to Fedoraforum~
It sounds like your screensaver is set to "lock screen" after an idle period. When that happens you must enter your password to exit the screensaver. You can change this behaviour in the System/Preferences/Screensaver Preferences dialogue.

Thanks for your reply.

Lock Screen is not checked. Moreover, I am presented with the logon screen listing all users, not the enter password part for the screen locking. When I log back in, things in my session like web browser and shell windows are gone...

Strange.
