Hope it's a typo, or I have misunderstood this. Going through ubuntu-tweak settings , I see the below.
My Question is "How can one enhance system security by disabling the desktop lock?" Isn't it contradictory?

1I guess it's intended for cases where you don't want users to do these things (e.g. a public computer), but I agree, the wording could definitely be better. – Jonas Czech Jun 12 '16 at 18:07

Checking the box for it does exactly what it says; it disables the lock screen. I know a while back it was possible to restart the system from the lock screen, meaning if auto-login was enabled, it was possible to unlock the computer. That has been fixed for some time though.
