Comment 1 Martin Krajnak 2021-07-30 13:01:34 UTC 
Hi Carlos, do we have time to fix this in 8.5 ? 

I can reproduce the same issue on 8.5.

gnome-settings-daemon-3.32.0-14.el8.x86_64

Steps to reproduce:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type logout
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 30
$ Wait for 30 seconds

Actual results:
A notification is shown, saying that the user will be logged out, but nothing happens.
Comment 3 Benjamin Berg 2021-07-30 13:12:29 UTC 
Upstream this was changed to simply suppress the notification. i.e. the feature is just completely disabled inside VMs.
Comment 5 Benjamin Berg 2021-07-30 13:21:37 UTC 
Wait, I was looking at the wrong commit (related to "logout" being disabled in GDM).

This was fixed upstream by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/-/commit/c07ea84b54964ef95461047c53d358f4570e8808
