Bug Description

WORK IN PROGRESS - GIT PR to be done

Ubuntu Budgie and Budgie Desktop uses GNOME Screensaver for its lock-screen.

GNOME40 with GDM now grabs the Screensaver dbus entry that GNOME Screensaver previously utilised.

This prevents GNOME Screensaver from working i.e. provide its locking capability.

To resolve this requires a patch to kill the GDM spawned process releasing the dbus grab.

All of this is explained in the dep3 headers of the debdiff patch attached
