Bug Description

caffeine and caffeinate prevent automatic screen locks (as well as screensavers, blank screens, and suspend). This was not what I was expecting, but I understand why caffeine would be designed to work that way.

I think it is important to mention that this prevents automatic screen locks for security reasons.

I've submitted a patch in this Bazaar repo: https://code.launchpad.net/~flimm/caffeine/doc
