Looking at this thread, the post by seagle and reply by trenchanter
seagle
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen
seems to indicate a 'true/false' value; thought my value already seems appropriately 'set' (false)
therefore, performing the action:
trenchanter
$ gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen
obviously, doesn't seem to make that much difference.
Perhaps it might be a re-occurrence of other (or another/further-iteration) of issues of the same-similar variety?
Running some 'tests', I could not repeat the output from the post by karypid
(though I did try a 'dirty-hack'), just in-case it was a 'missing' file-ref error, specifically to gnome-screensaver
using:
sudo ln -s 'budgie-screensaver' 'gnome-screensaver'
however, that doesn't appear to have 'fixed' or changed anything.
The 'final' post by karypid
appears to have (potentially) 'fixed' the issue (on that thread),

And, looking at:

my value is already 'set' to 1.
