Automatic suspend asks for authentcation

Hi [member=7274]brianread[/member]

I've now done a new install and out of the box the auto suspend works fine, however once you set the slider "blank after" on the "Display" tab of the Xfce Power manager setting pane, then the authentication comes up when the suspend is requested after the idle timeout.

  That's weird. Maybe you should try a different set up? Instead of 30 minutes try 20 and see how that goes.  I've never had problems with that but mine is set up to at 5 minutes of no activity. Tell me your power management configuration so I try here and see what happens.

I've shipped it to the end user now, it seemed to be the parameter that controlled if it blanked the screen that caused it to try to authenticate.  Setting it to "never" made it work ok, any other time caused it to try to authenticate.
