Bug Description

In xscreensaver, xscreensaver-command -deactivate simulates user input and pops
up a dialog box if the screen is locked.

gnome-screensaver-command --deactivate unlocks the screen.

gnome-screensaver-command --poke appears to do nothing.

We need this support for popping up the password box when resuming.

As of version 2.13.5-0ubuntu2, gnome-screensaver-command --poke does the correct thing and pops up the password dialog.

Still, --deactivade unlocks the screen, but that would be a different bug (if it is a bug).
