Bug Description
I recently installed a fresh 14.04.1 system (with a separate partition for the /home directory from 12.04). As expected bugs and tweaks here and there are present but with the help of forums, I was able to solve them one by one. There are just a few now remaining but this one looks critical and there seems to be no answer from the forums: gnome-shell does not lock (no passwords asked) after resuming from either suspend or hibernate. I checked all the settings, gconf, dconf, Settings > Privacy > Lock Screen on Suspend.
I suspend / hibernate, then resume / thaw, and the desktop directly goes to my user, no locking has happened.
WORKAROUND:
After the first login, I lock the screen, eg Ctrl + Alt + L. Lock screen works. Then I suspend / hibernate, then resume / thaw: Lock screen works again. So in order for the Lock to work, I had to do an initial Ctrl + Alt + L.
