Title:
  When display is unlocked via VNC, screensaver does not lock screen
  again after inactivity

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Consider the following, real scenario:

  I have my office computer set to automatically lock after 5 minutes. I
  leave for the weekend and the following day I SSH to my computer with
  a local redirect to :5900 and start x11vnc -display :0. I unlock my
  screen and proceed to use the computer over VNC. I then disconnect
  from VNC. I later return to my office computer to find it unlocked, in
  the state I left the session on VNC.

  Expected behaviour: the screensaver automatically locks the computer
  after 5 minutes of inactivity, regardless of the VNC session.

  Ubuntu: 12.04.5 (Precise)
  gnome-screensaver: 3.4.1-0ubuntu1
