Nope -- first thing I thought of, too. It's set not to lock.
I even opened the Configuration Editor under System Tools off the Main
Menu, and went through that, looking for settings I could undo.
But what happens is not just a lockout, where a password puts you back
where you were. It's a real logout, and the screen has to rebuild my
whole desktop.
And it doesn't get that right, either. It asks me (on the wrong
workspace) which Opera session I want, even if I left Opera closed. It
opens my home folder, whether that was open before or not. And it opens
my gnome-terminal the wrong size, and with only one tab. Yet it's set to
save every session ...
