For several years, through different incarnations of Fedora, and on
different hardware, I've had computers where the lock-screen hotkey
worked, always worked, once worked until something was customised, or
never worked.  With the last two being insurmountable, never again would
it work.

So, as far as I can see, what you've said doesn't sound impossible.
