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.)

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.
