So this is what I came up with:

```auto
#!/bin/bash
if ps ax | grep -v grep | grep gnome-screensaver > /dev/null
	then
		echo "gnome-screensaver is not running"
		echo "starting gnome-screensaver ..."
		pkill -9 -f '/usr/bin/gjs /usr/share/gnome-shell/org.gnome.ScreenSaver'
		sleep 3
		gnome-screensaver
	else
		echo "gnome-screensaver already running"
		exit
fi

```

Adding it to startup applications seems to be sufficient to get everything running the way it should.

Cheers for the help
