Thank you for posting this! I assumed it was A Treo Thing(TM). Since I installed the update on my Treo before I even used it for the first time, I never knew it didn't do this before the update. The only hands-on experience I had with WM5 prior to this was the horrible "upgrade" to WM5 for my hx4700; it didn't behave this way, so I figured it was something Palm did when tweaking things for one-handed operation.
In a way, I can see the logic behind the behavior. If I leave my device docked at my desk when walking out of the office to take a bio break or whatever, it might be nice to know that someone walking up wouldn't be able to just grab it and get to my contacts or e-mail. Of course about 95% of the time my Treo goes with me, but as a general rule, I understand the logic. Still, it's nice to be able to work around it.
If you have a registry editor that allows you to export and import .reg files, you could just export this setting and import it back in whenever necessary, such as after changing the password.
Thanks again for passing along the tip; it's very nice to have the ability to disable this annoying (to me) behavior!
