Thanks Jamie.. But it means there is no way to get screen lock working if you
disable screen blanking, right ?

In that case, I'll workaround that at gnome-panel level to run xlock if
xscreensaver-command -lock doesn't return 0.

description: 
I run gnome session and I tried to lock the screen from my computer and 
selected the appropriate icon from the main menu. But locking screen did not
start and I did not even get any  warning or error message boxes explaining that 
it can not be done.

First I thought that the menu was there even thought I did not have xscreensaver
installed but 

   rpm -qa | grep xscree
   xscreensaver-4.12-1mdk

shows that it is. Then I remembered that I have disapled screensaver in the
gnome configuration menu. I activated screensaver and tried again to lock the
screen but still nothing happened.

After logging the user away from the gnome session and logging in again I was
able to lock the screen.

I think that user should be able to lock the screen even if he do not want to
start screensaver after certain period.
