      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Unable to make dconf settings mandatory for all users.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen: 

      dconf-0.28.0-4.el8

      How reproducible: Always

      Steps to reproduce

      Step 1 : Check the value of idle-delay :

      1. dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay
        uint32 300

      Step 2 : Create the following file :

      1. cat /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-screensaver
        [org/gnome/desktop/session]
        idle-delay=uint32 900

      Step 3 : Create locks :

      1. cat /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/00-screensaver 
        /org/gnome/desktop/session

      Step 4 : Update dconf :

      1. dconf update

      Step 5 : Check values for idle-delay :

      1. dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay
        uint32 900

      Step 6 : Run the following :

      1. dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay 400

      Step 7 : Check the value for idle-delay :

      1. dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay
        400

        Expected results

      dconf settings added to /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/ should be mandatory/enforced for all users.

      Actual results 

      The values are overwritten despite locks. Settings are not enforced/mandatory.
