Description totte 2014-05-07 09:02:27 UTC
It isn't entirely clear what event from which these seconds are counted. Is it since the keyboard or mouse were last used, since the screensaver was activated or something else?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open 'System Settings'.
2. Click 'Display and Monitor'.
3. Click 'Screen Locker'.
4. Mouse-over the checkbox and label for "Require password after _ seconds".
Actual Results:  
No tooltip is displayed that clarifies the setting.

Expected Results:  
A tooltip would be displayed that clarifies from what event the timer(?) is started.

The text in better now ("Require password after locking: ___ seconds") so I don't think a tooltip is necessary.
