Thanks. I found this very helpful. I also found some other problem settings that were bothering me much less!

Don’t know why they disabled this feature.

[...] Ora bisogna impostare Gnome per bloccare lo schermo quando viene spento. Niente di più semplice, si fa in un minuto. [...]

Excellent. Thanks for finding this setting.

I am running Fedora 9, and had the opposite problem: it defaults to locking the screen whenever it blanks the screen (such as when the laptop lid is closed). I do NOT want it to lock the screen then. Just blank it, then restore the screen when the laptop lid is opened again.

Clearing the checkbox hasn’t worked yet, but it’s a good start.

@Scott Kitterman: I'm not sure what you mean. The change works fine with Kubuntu, or the screen locks automatically under Kubuntu?

Works just fine with Kubuntu.
