I think you may misunderstand the bug.
xscreensaver has no problem, it is the session menu that has a bug. I
cannot get the screen to lock from the session menu when I have replaced
gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver. The session menu only functions
properly if gnome-screensaver is used. Since gnome-screensaver is
garbage, I will not use it.
I made symlinks to xscreensaver, so if I type "gnome-screensaver-command
-lock" at the command prompt, the screen is locked, using xscreensaver.
However, the session menu doesn't seem to use this, instead something
with DBUS which I don't fully understand.
I just want the session menu to work properly when xscreensaver is used
instead of gnome-screensaver.
