Public bug reported: Some apps (e.g. TuxPaint, but there are others, I think notably ones that run in full screen) prevent the desktop from locking.
Only once you close those apps or windows does the screen lock (or does it come up at any rate). This is something that has bugged me (and therefore I think it qualifies as a bug) on other distros, e.g. Mint as well.
