Bug Description

Locking in current package (0.0.8-0ubuntu1) doesn't work for me (on Breezy), log snippet:
** (process:6747): WARNING **: Couldn't get password of "pogo"

** (process:6747): WARNING **: Couldn't get password of "root"

** (gnome-screensaver-dialog:6747): WARNING **: Screen locking disabled: error getting password

After reading gnome-screensaver sources I realized that this error is emitted when PAM support is disabled. I recompiled the package with libpam0g and libpam0g-dev installed on system and the new recompiled gnome-screensaver works (locks and displays password dialog).
