For those on XFCE, gnome-screensaver won't lock on idle – it requires gnome-session running in order to do that: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5927

A more permanent "solution" for XFCE users is to

 sudo apt-get purge light-locker
 sudo apt-get install xscreensaver
 # To make the "switch users" button know that you use lightdm:
 echo 'xscreensaver.newLoginCommand: dm-tool switch-to-greeter' >> ~/.Xresources

The downside is that you have to enter your password twice when you do "switch users" to an already logged-in user.
