Confirmed here too, with 2.17.7-0ubuntu1. I got an strace of gnome-screensaver-dialog for you

close(16) = 0
ioctl(3, FIONREAD, [0]) = 0
gettimeofday({1171411287, 862237}, NULL) = 0
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=3, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN}, {fd=14, events=0}], 8, 0) = 0

socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 16
fcntl64(16, F_SETFL, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
connect(16, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.gdm_socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
send(16, "CLOSE\n", 6, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = -1 ENOTCONN (Transport endpoint is not connected)
write(2, "\n(gnome-screensaver-dialog:16595"..., 107) = 107

This repeats continuously until I kill it.

I'd just done an upgrade through software-updates, I don't know if that is related. It did upgrade gnome-screensaver.

It's true there is no /tmp/.gdm_socket, is there meant to be?

(Is tmp really a good location for that anyhow?)
