** Description changed:
- When running lightDM, the "Lock" option under the gnome-shell User Menu,
- does not work. Clicking on this does nothing but if you try to lock
- screen using keyboard (ctrl+alt+L) the it works and also all subsequent
- clicks on "Lock" option start to work.
+ [IMPACT]
+ * When running gnome-shell from lightDM, it is not possible to Lock screen or suspend from the user/system Menu.
+
+ * This is due to gnome-screensaver no longer auto-starting when running a non-fallback
+ gnome-shell session. We need to explicitly start gnome-screensaver in this case.
- ProblemType: Bug
- DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10
+ [TESTCASE]
+ 1. From lightDM log into a gnome-shell Session
+ 2. From user Menu try to Lock or Suspend. It wont work.
+ 3. using keyboard lock screen with ctrl+alt+L, this forces gnome-screensaver to start.
+ 4. again try and lock or suspend and it will work.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ None. We are just forcing gnome-screensaver to start for the shell-on-lightdm use case.

Bug description:
[IMPACT]
* When running gnome-shell from lightDM, it is not possible to Lock screen or suspend from the user/system Menu.

2. From user Menu try to Lock or Suspend. It wont work.
3. using keyboard lock screen with ctrl+alt+L, this forces gnome-screensaver to start.
4. again try and lock or suspend and it will work.
[Regression Potential]
None. We are just forcing gnome-screensaver to start for the shell-on-lightdm use case.
