That returns true. But gnome-screensaver was not started. I can
start it manually, and then locking starts to work. By the way I
installed electric sheep, which is not active right now. But it does
not work with gnome-screensaver and nvidia driver (I read it somewhere
else on the net). Rebooting does not work.



Anyway, now I can start gnome-screensaver manually and then lock the
screen. (can't use electricsheep)
