Title:
  When running lightDM user locking doesnt work

Status in GNOME Shell:
  Unknown
Status in “gnome-shell” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [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.

  [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.

  
  == Original Bug Report ==
  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.
