Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
In karmic's GNOME desktop, locking the screen is accomplished through
D-BUS by using the Lock method provided by gnome-screensaver. However,
the package installs no service file so D-BUS calls don't work.
Initially I was not able to lock the screen using the indicator-session-
applet "Lock Screen" menu item, Ctrl-Alt-L, or sending the D-BUS command
manually. After creating and customizing the file
/usr/share/d-bus1/services/org.gnome.ScreenSaver.service (attached), the
latter two methods began working immediately, and the menu item began
working after a reboot.
