Bug Description
Some applications suppress the screensaver, preventing the computer from automatically locking. It is possible to be completely unaware of such an application or process.
This is a security issue. I sometimes come back to my computer only to realise that it never locked itself, yet it's set to time out after a minute.
I suggest that when the screensaver is suppressed, an icon should appear in the indicator applet, as does for elevated privileges (See the screenshot).
