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.

Enjoy
