Bug Description

This appears to be a regression of 1798615 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798615 )

To reproduce:
% gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend true
% gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend
true

% systemctl suspend

The system suspends, but is _not_ locked as it should be. I.e., this is the exact same behavior that was reported (and fixed!) in Bug #1798615 reported by John Crown (i.e., me) on 2018-10-18

I have marked as a "security vulnerability", because that's how it was considered in 2018.

Meanwhile:

% lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Release: 20.04

Is it just me? Please advise.
thanks
