Public bug reported: gnome-screensaver should be removed from ubuntu-desktop Recommends because it isn't needed for Gnome Shell Desktop Environment. It's 5 years old software (latest release 2012-10-16) and is needed only for old GNOME flashback (fallback) session. Gnome-screensaver shouldn't be running on GNOME Shell - users can't unlock the screen because of important bugs in gnome-screensaver, see bug #1716278 and bug #1699670 (Gnome screensaver lock always responses "incorrect password" when last active window's language is not the language of the password) for example.
