Here is a workaround. Works with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 32 bits. Using Ubuntu Software Center or Terminal, install xscreensaver-gl-extra and xscreensaver-data-extra
Click OK to both prompts asking to turn-off Gnome Daemon and to start xscreensaver-daemon respectively. If you want to manually lock the screen with the keyboard combination CTRL+ALT+L then you will need to run the following to repoint the old gnome-screensaver lock to xscreensaver: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/xscreensaver-command /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver- command Logout or restart for all changes to take effect. CTRL+ALT+L usually works without restart.
