I think you don't have problems with login screen (where new desktop session is launched) but with screen locker tool, running in active session. You should check if problem exists when you logout from desktop session to login screen - this is different piece of software, not related to selected user desktop session (plasma/gnome/etc. with own screenlocker).

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm running a new install of Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS on a Dell Rugged Extreme 7414. I only changed in Power Settings: When plugged in > When lid is close = Do Nothing Brightness & Lock Settings were not changed; Lock Screen after: Screen turns off If I close the laptop lid while logged in at the Unity Desktop, the screen will fade to black and turn off, which I think is normal and expected. Then when I open the lid I get the login screen, which I also expect. Now, if I don't login and just close the lid, the screen does not fade to black nor turn off. I would expect the screen to fade to black and turn off also from the login screen. This appears to be a small issue, at least on my system. If anyone needs specific information about the system, please ask.
