No.

gnome-screensaver daemon is _not_ running, instead I use xscreensaver. I
will use gnome-screensaver if/when GNOME fixes it or Ubuntu forks it and
fixes it (the bug that upstream marked WONTFIX). I get correct behavior
from xscreensaver (locks screen after 32 minutes). Also, if I run
xscreensaver-command -lock it works correctly. Pressing <ctrl>-<alt>-L
works but only because I added it in Compiz as a command, which runs
xscreensaver-command -lock. Otherwise it did not work.

I am happy with the Compiz workaround to get <ctrl>-<alt>-L to work, and
if there was some way to get the session menu to call xscreensaver-
command -lock I'd be happy.

Thanks,

Brian
