Disable Password Check on Resume in Ubuntu

Once I discovered the joys of gconf, see previous post, I found another delightful change that solved a problem.

If I suspend my netbook to RAM, it is because I want to quickly turn it off and on, rather than waiting the 65-70 seconds it takes to go from power off to a usable desktop. I do NOT want to faff about typing in a password each time I restore from RAM, because that would ruin the whole "quickly on" bit.

So, to do this, I used:
gconf-editor
to change the following setting:
/apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/suspend
to false by unchecking it. Job done.
