Looks to me like it's because the PAM service "unity" (which runs the
screensaver) isn't listed in the `ad_gpo_map_interactive` option in
sssd.conf. This list should have distro-specific defaults (since
different distributions use different PAM service names)

The fix should be to add unity to the default set (and the manpage), but
anyone experiencing this issue right now should be able to add the
following to their [domain/DOMAINNAME] section of sssd.conf to work
around it:

```
ad_gpo_map_interactive = +unity
```

I suppose this might not be an unreasonable default to add upstream as
well, so I just sent a patch there. I'd recommend that the maintainers
of this package in Ubuntu and Debian should carefully examine which PAM
services are available (including in variants like Kubuntu and Xubuntu)
and add them to the defaults downstream.
