Under Gnome Shell with the screenlock disabled, this behavior is highly
irritating, because the Gnome session menu follows my settings and does
not lock the screen, but using the power button does lock the screen. I
don't have much of a "use case" for a screen lock for a machine sitting
safely in my apartment. The screen lock setting should reasonably be
universal (and can still be set with "never" as the timeout for
inactivity either way.)

Title:
  the gnome-session dialog suspend option doesn't lock the screen

Status in The GNOME 2 Session Manager:
  Invalid
Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If Lock is set to Off in System Settings > Screen then Oneiric does not ask for a password on suspend resume.  A user that is required to enter a password at login/startup should always be asked for the password on resume.  
  The situation for re-enabling the screen after a period of inactivity is quite different, only that should be controlled by Screen > Lock.
