[Bug 82527] gnome-screensaver-command doesn't work for gnome-screesaver instances started from /etx/X11/Xsession.d

[Noah Slater]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

I have a custom file in /etc/X11/Xsession.d that is sourced by
/etc/gdm/Xsession

I do not use GNOME and this custom file has the following line:

gnome-screensaver &

When I am presented with my window manager ion(1) I can varify that this
has worked using ps(1).

The problem is that gnome-screensaver-command refuses to acknowledged
gnome-screensaver is running.

If I start a second invocation of gnome-screensaver by hand and then try
again everything works. If I kill of the second instance it still
ignores it.

I have attached the strace of both experiements...
