Public bug reported: This morning's updates broke both the screen lock (it never auto-locks now) and dpms (if you manually lock the screen, it doesn't turn off any more).
"xset dpms force off" still works to turn the screen off and "gnome- screensaver-command -l" still locks the screen, so it probably isn't gnome-screensaver's fault. Is it a lightdm issue perhaps? Which app is in charge of this?
