Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with xscreensaver 5.26-1ubuntu2 and normally
xscreensaver must run in the background to be able to lock the screen.
If xscreensaver is not running and the screen is trying to be locked
this happens:

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ xscreensaver-command -lock
xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0


Maybe xscreensaver can support locking the screen without xscreensaver 
permanently running in the background as this would save ressources for whose 
who don't need the daemon features.
