After a lot of reading through logs and trying to manually trigger the
screensaver using:

$ dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver
/org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Lock

I found the following in the log:

gnome-shell[2762]: Screen lock is locked down, not locking

Searching for that error resulted in me finding this:

https://askbot.fedoraproject.org/en/question/122030/screen-lock-is-locked-down-not-locking/

and indeed it seems that somehow screen lock had become disabled:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen
true
$

Running:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen false

Got things working again! No idea how the screen lock became
disabled... but it's working now.

Cheers

Adam
