If I start a long running task, scanning a harddrive with GParted for example, and walk away for an hr, when I return the screen is blank and touching the touchpad brings up the signin screen, has the long running task continued or stopped unit I signin?

Nope it does not, based on the Power Management settings and on battery power I suspended after 15 mins.

I've corrected the situation.

Or have I. Do Power Management settings changes take effect immediately or only when rebooting?

Thank you ncmp. That appears to have been the case.
