In our environment, leaving your desk without locking your computer/screen is punished with a disciplinary hearing and three such hearings result in dismissal. Having one person using another's account is considered a security risk.
Sounds kinda' harsh. May I ask what industry this is in?
Finance.
I don't know the exact path but you can use gconftool-2 (or gconf-editor as a GUI) to set the screensaver not to lock (and mimick doing so by changing the screensaver preferences in "System-Preferences-Screensaver").
That's a per-user setting you describe, right?
Yes but someone's posted a global gconftool-2 recipe.
