Gnome Display Manager Crashes When Attempting to Lock

Description

After updating a fresh install of Solus Gnome, I can no longer lock the computer. After waking up from suspend, the system throws me back into my session without asking for a password. Attempting to manually lock the system results in Gnome crashing and rebooting the gdm session.

Here is a copy of the journalctl at the point of attempting to lock. Looks like a segfault in libst.

Seems it may be an issue upstream. Even though we don't use gTile at all, I'm able to reproduce it however not able to reproduce any "fix" by disabling specific extensions, or all extensions. I'm going to see about merging https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/commit/d3934bd6854aa0b655437d443e59396dfb0c0945, which isn't in any of the latest releases, to see if that resolves the issue.

Okay so I did a sync with git, added a VT1 patch to GDM, and disabled all extensions. Still doesn't actually lock on suspend. I'm not getting anything related to segfaults anymore but it does make me question whether or not they're even calling to lock before suspending in the first place.

Regardless I'll push these commits and just reference this task (which isn't solved and doesn't seem to be Solus-specific, as others have reported it across Ubuntu and Fedora).

Okay, for whatever reason I have budgie-desktop-branding-livecd still installed on my laptop, just not on my desktop. I'm guessing my issue was just caused by testing a bunch of stuff during prior GNOME stack upgrades and not doing proper cleanup on that system. That had a lock-enabled set to false which rightfully preventing it from locking. After uninstalling it, the issue is resolved. I'd double check that you also don't have this installed (you shouldn't but you never know). Marking this as resolved since I can now properly lock while suspending and there are no crashes.

@JoshStrobl Thanks for your work on this fix! I can confirm that the latest patch in the unstable repository fixed the issue for me. Also I did not have budgie-desktop-branding-livecd installed on my system.
