Additional information (confirming the symptoms reported by original post):
If in steps (4) and (6) one enters the combination <Alt><ScrollLock> (or any of many such combinations), the effect is as expected, screen lock is activated. However, for several single-keys, including ScrollLock, the problem exists as reported. This is new to Oneiric. The problem did not exist in previous versions. Regarding "ubuntu tweak". Synaptic / Software Center do not mention such a tool, and the Gnome-tweak-tool does not have any option like "Session Indicator"... Could you help identifying the tool you hinted at ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882180 Title: Cannot set keyboard shortcut for "Lock Screen" Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: To reproduce: 1.
