Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-session

I'm running karmic with indicator-session (0.1.7-0ubuntu3) and gnome-screensaver (2.28.0-0ubuntu3).

The "Lock Screen" option works properly right after a fresh boot. After calling

gnome-screensaver-comand --exit

followed by

gnome-screensaver

the "Lock Screen" selection no longer does anything. If I run gnome-screensaver with no-daemon and debug,
I get no debug showing up when I select Lock Screen. Using the

"dbus-send --print-reply --reply-timeout=100 --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver / org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Lock"

command, or simply CTRL+ALT+L works as expected, invoking the screensaver.
