Yes, I'm late with this, but I have not yet had a chance to try the
suggestions
I received. Original question below. Thanks to dave Harrington, Benno
Benoit, and Dave Robillard. Suggestions were to confirm that changes made
were
indeed saved. Been there, done that. Another was to make sure CDE patches
are
installed. Been there, too.

One suggestion from Dave was to check if xautolock was being run.
Apparently,
zautolock may be overriding CDE settings.

I've not looked for this yet. Since this original questions, I've been
swamped
with fires a lot larger than this, but will have a look when able. Right
now,
I'm having another problem which will be the subject of another question to
the list.
Standby for news....

Thanks, all.
