Bug Description
Currently, when selecting "lock" from the session indicator, the user is switched to the greeter.
This breaks a whole slew of functionnality:
1- The switch is done before waiting for the screen to actually be locked properly, resulting in the user session not being locked properly presumably because gnome-screensaver couldn't get a keyboard and/or mouse grab in time. Switching to the user's vt displays the desktop for an instant before the screen actually locks.
2- Switching to the greeter revokes the user's device access, resulting in music not playing anymore, alarm sounds not ringing, etc. I fully expect to be able to start my music player, and have the music playing while I lock my screen.
3- The user's power preferences are no longer applied as expected when the greeter is being displayed.
4- The user experience is inconsistent with other ways of locking the screen, such as waiting for the timeout to occur, or pressing on Ctrl-Alt-L.

[ Marc Deslauriers ]
* src/service.c: don't switch to greeter when locking screen, as that
switches away from the user's audio, power preferences, etc.
