Description Kodiak Firesmith 2015-12-02 15:30:51 UTC 
The posted documentation here regarding idle-delay does not work:  https://help.gnome.org/admin//system-admin-guide/3.10/screen-locking.html.en

This is because gsettings appears to need to know the key type in addition to the key value.

Thusly, this change needs made:

[org/gnome/desktop/session]
# Set the lock time out to 180 seconds before the session is considered idle.
-idle-delay=180
+idle-delay=uint32 180

This problem with the documentation may have been the cause for this bugreport to be filed, which led to me resolving my own problem by adding "uint32":  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1141779
