Comment 20 for bug 528094

I think you may misunderstand the bug.

xscreensaver has no problem, it is the session menu that has a bug. I cannot get the screen to lock from the session menu when I have replaced gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver. The session menu only functions properly if gnome-screensaver is used. Since gnome-screensaver is garbage, I will not use it.

I made symlinks to xscreensaver, so if I type "gnome-screensaver-command -lock" at the command prompt, the screen is locked, using xscreensaver. However, the session menu doesn't seem to use this, instead something with DBUS which I don't fully understand.

I just want the session menu to work properly when xscreensaver is used instead of gnome-screensaver.
