It looks like this should be part of the xscreensaver package, so that
the lock screen menu item will work. Either that, or the Session Menu
should look for xscreensaver vs gnome-screensaver, and enable the
appropriate method. I am assuming the DBUS object is created by gnome-
screensaver, so the easiest thing to integrate xscreensaver and Gnome
would be to change the xscreensaver package, though really it's Gnome's
Session Menu that fails here. From my point of view, the Session Menu
should look for a way to lock the screen (gnome-screensaver,
xscreensaver) and create the appropriate DBUS object. If no screensaver
is present, then the screen can't be locked and the menu item shouldn't
be available. Doing it right would require changing gnome-screensaver
and the Session Menu.
