I would like to mention that Bug # 9441 covers one aspect of this bug - the "Locate Pointer" issue. But there is still the aspect of not being able to use Ctl-Alt-L to lock the screen unless a gnome application is running has been run beforehand.
I have no problem in marking Bug # 354790 as a duplicate of Bug # 9441 but we need to keep Bug # 354792 open as a separate issue which affects users who want to lock the screen immediately after logging in, before opening any applications (completely unrelated to Bug # 9441).
