This value is reset to "uint32 0" (zero) when I click the tab Privacy & Security in GNOME Settings. Since the change happens silently the user will not be aware of it. This is fixed by ensuring that custom idle-delay values, not listed in the `Privacy & Security -> Screen Lock -> Blank Screen Delay` drop-down, are handled gracefully. If the value is not in the list, the drop-down will default to showing no selection instead of falling back to zero. [ Test Plan ] * Open terminal and set a custom delay value (30 min in this case): $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 1800 * Open GNOME Settings and click "Privacy & Security" * Verify that the idle-delay value has remained the same $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay uint32 1800 [ Where problems could occur ] The scope of the change is limited to the `Blank Screen Delay` and `Automatic Screen Lock Delay` settings. A bug may prevent these options to be set, or at worst crash the Settings app. [ Other Info ] The option to lock the screen after a delay can be set in (at least) three different locations: 1. Settings -> Power -> Screen Blank 2. Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Screen Lock -> Blank Screen Delay 3. $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 1800 (1 and 2 are drop-down lists going from "Never" up to "15 minutes". In 3, I used "1800" = 30 min.) The issue only happens when I click the tab "Privacy & Settings" (I believe this tab is new in Ubuntu 24.04, I don't recall seeing it in 20.04 or 22.04). I can click all other tabs, including the tab "Power", without problem. I was able to replicate the issue in another laptop, also with Ubuntu 24.04.

The package description says "This package is not necessary in the GNOME desktop environment, because GNOME Shell contains its own screen lock implementation. (...)" so I filled this bug under gnome-shell.
