Can unlock screen with root password in my user account - want to change this

:confused: When I lock my screen, I want to be able to unlock it only with my user password (not root password). If anyone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Details:
Fedora Core 4
Gnome 2.10

as far as i know this is not possible, root user has the rights to do whatever he/she wants. same way as you cannot forbid root to access you home directory

A friend of mine has a fc4 box with only the user being able to unlock lock screen when logged in as that user - root can't unlock the screen. This is probably a bug though.
