Title:
  screen not consistently locking when lid is closed

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have GNOME configured to lock the screen when the screen is blanked,
  and to blank the screen when the lid is closed:

  org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'blank'
  org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay uint32 0
  org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true

  This worked fine in Jammy: whenever my screen was unlocked and I
  closed my laptop lid, it locked immediately, i.e., if I immediately
  reopened my lid, the screen was locked.

  After having just upgraded to Kinetic, however, sometimes when I close
  the lid it locks as described above, and sometimes it just... doesn't,
  i.e., when I open the lid again the screen is unlocked and I can just
  keep working.

  I have been unable to determine what the factors are which control
  whether the screen locks when I close the lid.

  There is a moderate security implication here, as it's problematic for
  someone's screen not to lock when they think that it did.
