"(the bug that upstream marked WONTFIX)"
Do you have that upstream link. 

"# How many monitors do you use?
1 or 2"

When does it happen with duel monitors or without duel monitors or does
not matter.

"# If it is a laptop, do you use an external screen?
Sometimes"
Does it happen in one case but not the other. 

** Changed in: xscreensaver (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Changed in: indicator-session
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Description changed:

  The session menu "Lock Screen" option does not work. I managed to get
  Ctrl-Alt-L to lock the screen with Compiz, but the session menu item
  will not work.
  
  I tried:
  making symlinks from gnome-screensaver to xscreensaver and from 
gnome-screensaver-command to xscreensaver-command
  adding a .service file to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ called 
org.gnome.ScreenSaver.service with the following content:
  [D-BUS Service]
  Name=org.gnome.ScreenSaver
  Exec=/usr/bin/xscreensaver
  
  I also tried that with
  Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver
  after creating the symlink.
  
  I'm not too familiar with dbus so I'm not sure what else I should do.
  Using gnome-screensaver is an option that follows dumping Gnome and
  choosing another distro in desirability. In other words, no chance. If
  gnome won't work with a real screensaver app that's additional
  activation energy to move me to another distro.
