Screen won't lock when you resume from standby

I'm using Brigantia and have gnome-shell installed(which I love). Something strange has come up though. It's that when I resume from standby the screen isn't locked. It automatically unlocks. I can always logout then go into standy so that when it resumes you have to login. I was trying to find where this could be fixed but I can't seem to find anything.

Along similar lines, I've been having issues shutting down or restarting using Brigantia(using gnome-shell or fallback mode). I push shut down and nothing happens. Any ideas on what this is or suggestions on ways to track down the problem?

I believe you have to tick a box in gconf-editor: press Alt+F2, type 'gconf-editor' and navigate to /apps/gnome-screensaver. The box that you need ticked is "lock_enabled" ("lock" is unchecked in my system).

Actually, I have just taken a look at the "System settings" and it looks like you do not even need to use gconf-editor. Just click "Screen" in this configuration window. There is a "lock" switch.

I have that enabled but it isn't working. I'm not entirely familiar with the inner workings of gnome but it just seemed odd that even though it's told to lock it's not doing it.
