Bug Description

With the latest updates, unity is failing to apply the lock screen policy on my desktop. I have my desktop configured to lock the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity. I came back to my laptop in the morning after a full night's inactivity and found the screen still on and unlocked.

This is a critical security regression.
