The issue I am having is I have my screen lock only to come on after 15 minutes of phone inactivity yet, as soon as the phone dims, the swipe lock comes back.

PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO MAKE IT LISTEN TO COME ON ONLY AFTER 15 MINUTES?!

Have you gone to settings? It could be that you need to go to display settings and change the screen timeout settings. Let me know if it works out for you.

If you have any additional questions:

Before I Upgraded to gingerbread, my settings in fro yo were for the screen to timeout after 30 seconds and for this pattern lock to come on after 15 minutes. That is exactly how I have my phone set up now, the only problem is that as soon as the screen dims the swipe lock it comes on Even if I disable all security. Before gingerbread I was able to have my settings the way I wanted but when the screen dims the swipe lock would not come on until 15 minutes. Then I would swipe the lock and enter in my pattern. In this case, it's forcing to swipe lock regardless of the settings that I have set.
 
What happens if your turn the screen off manually, and turn it back on.

Some phones have two separate settings, one for when the screen times out and one for when you manually turn it off.
 
When I turn the screen off manually, the swipe lock screen comes back regardless of the amount of time passed, which it shouldn't.
