Gnome-screensaver should be started by default. I'm not sure why it
wasn't for you. I'm closing this bug, since you've figured out the
problem you were having.
Please feel free to reopen it if you can reliably reproduce this issue
in a default installation.

Title:
Screen doesn not lock (until you do it manually once)
Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The screen does not lock even though
- the "lock" switch is activated in the "brightness and locking" screen
- "lock screen after" is set to "screen turns off"
- and "ask for my password..." is checked
This problem can be fixed by :
- activating manually the lock screen once (ctrl + alt + L)
- or typing "nohup gnome-screensaver &" in a terminal
so I think the problem is that gnome-screensaver does not start
automatically or crashes when it does.
Ubuntu 12.10
gnome-screensaver 3.6.0-0ubuntu2
