Ah good that you have found our discourse forum.

Yes, gnome has from 21.10 changed gdm3 to run a process called gjs that sets up a dbus entry that gnome-screensaver also tries to create.

Basically two processes are competing for the same thing ... this is called a race .. that gnome-screensaver often loses.

In essence, you should not use either gdm3 if you want to run budgie, or don't install gnome-shell. Uninstalling gnome-shell-common will uninstall gnome-shell, remove gdm3 and install lightdm.

Budgie recommends you use slick-greeter.

If you have to use gdm3 then you have to use odd workarounds as described on discourse to try and kill the rogue gjs process. Note .... it does not always work and as such screen lock will break.
