I think you have to disable the "lock" in two different places. First, open the power manager. You can click on the power icon in the panel and select "preferences" or it should also be in Menu -> Preferences -> Power Manager
De-select "Lock screen...." under the "Extended" menu tab.
Second, open screensaver preferences. Menu -> Preferences -> Screensaver.
Again, de-select "lock screen..." at the bottom of the window.

This solution is a combination of @Jeroen's solution and @A lubuntu user solution.
The root cause, I believe, is that the user-specific light-locker.desktop
file doesn't override the system-wide one. So, even if the user configures light-locker to not start at all, it still runs with the default configuration parameters.
Warning: This will disable system-wide default screen locking. If you want to enable locking for a specific user, you'll need to edit the Exec=
line in the ~/.config/autostart/light-locker.desktop
file for each user. Configuring this through "Preferences >> Light Locker Settings" may do this (once the system-wide file is moved out of the way), but I haven't tried this.
Step 1: Disable system-wide startup of light-locker. This will allow the per-user .desktop file to be executed instead.
sudo mv /etc/xdg/autostart/light-locker.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/light-locker.desktop.bak
To re-enable this, you would just rename the file so it no longer has the .bak
extension.
Step 2: Edit the user-specific light-locker.desktop file
Open ~/.config/autostart/light-locker.desktop in a text editor.
Edit the line that begins Exec=
so it is only Exec=
. That is, there is no command specified which means light-locker won't be started.
Step 3: Reboot.

Go to Menu > Preferences > Power Manager > Security then uncheck box marked "Lock screen when system is going for sleep". You may have to log out and log back in for it to take effect.
