I seem to recall that gnome-screensaver no longer exists in the
version of Gnome3 in CentOS7.  I think maybe GDM starts the lock
screen, not the user session.

I think you need to set /org/gnome/desktop/session/idle-delay=0 in
dconf to turn it off.

When I use something other than Gnome3, I switch my DM to lightdm
(available in EPEL), and I've found it tends to run the non-gnome3
environments along expectations.
