FC 7 session lock


Recently responded to a update prompt on my Fedora Core 7 system. I've been doing this pretty much all along. So I clicked on yes and let it go. Unfortunately someone in the Fedora project has decided unilaterally that they would impose their insecurity issues on this update. So now I have a system that will automatically lock the session if you stop typing or moving the mouse for approximately 1 minute. Quite irritating to say the least.

I checked Selinux (disabled), checked the screensaver and the session lock is turned off. Searching the rest I can't find where this insecurity policy has been imposed from. So does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look or do I have to do the MS thing and wipe the disk and restore the entire system?

thanks
J.

Never encountered it or read about it. What packages got upgraded when this started?
